Sheffield City of culture 2013 bid – your ideas wanted
Have your say
Another event is taking place next week to further shape Sheffield’s bid to become the first UK City of culture in 2013:
The team behind Sheffield’s UK City of Culture bid need your help. They want to get ideas from as many people as possible to create an unbeatable bid. Come and have your say on Friday 16 April from 8am to 8pm. This is an informal event with lots of ways to share your ideas for Sheffield City of Culture 2013. It will be held in the City Centre at The Circle, 33 Rockingham Lane, S1 4FW (just of West Street and Division Street). There’s no need to book a place, simply turn up on the day. All are welcome.
In a previous post I mentioned how crucial it was for our bid to include the full breadth of Sheffield culture, not just our flagship offerings. This looks like a chance for smaller arts groups, communities, event organisers, promoters and other local cultural organisations to ensure they are represented and their ideas are built into the bid.
More details are at www.sheffieldcityofculture.com.
I would like to suggest that the city hold a children’s olympics event but restricted to childhood games of the many cultures represented in the city and further afield.
