Buccaneers descend on town for fake Fargate fighting
Following the success of the day Sheffield stood still in January, the city centre played host to another flash mob yesterday afternoon.
The theme this time was pirates, with instructions issued to meet outside the empty Zavvi shop on Fargate at 2:00pm for an invisible two-to-three minute cutlass fight. At the end of the fight all participants were requested to drop dead and then carry on their business as normal.
It was on a much smaller scale than the previous flash mob in the Peace gardens but still succeeded in making an impact, with plenty of bemused onlookers. The fact that fewer people were involved also meant that participants could disperse much more quickly which added to the effect.
What will the next Sheffield flash mob consist of? Yesterday’s looked good fun but if organisers intend to top the scale of the day Sheffield stood still then they will need to further exploit social media to increase participation and interest.
