The long-running and hugely popular Lowedges Festival is making a triumphant return on Sunday 14 August at Greenhill Park.

The festival was cancelled for the last two years due to the Covid pandemic, but because of the hard work of the organising committee, led by Stephen Rich and the support of Louise Haigh MP, it will return later this year for families and the community to enjoy.

This year’s festival will be bigger and better than before with Sheffield’s bigger classic car and bike show, a free fun fare for children, dance show from local dance groups, reggae music, dog show and much more.

Stephen Rich, Organisers for Lowedges Festival, said:

“It’s such a relief that this year’s festival is going ahead and will be better than ever. We’ve had to work ever harder this year to ensure that the festival will go ahead, and I’d like to thank everyone who has helped make this happen. Especially Louise Haigh MP who has supported me in securing funding bids.”

Louise Haigh MP for Sheffield Heeley, said:

“It’s so exciting to see that the organisers and communities’ hard work has paid off and the Lowedges Festival will go ahead this year.

“The Lowedges Festival has been running since 2009 and is an incredible testament to the passion and the commitment that volunteers in their community have to their area. It really puts Lowedges on the map and allows us to celebrate everything that’s positive about the area.

“Thank you to everyone who’s helped make this possible and I can’t wait to celebrate with you in the summer!”

The festival is still fund raising as they are hoping to add even more events to this year’s festival. If anyone could offer a donation, please visit the website: www.lowedgesfestival.co.uk
