A dazzling day of free, family-friendly entertainment is returning to Weston Park to wow the crowds once again, thanks to a partnership between the University of Sheffield and Sheffield City Council.
Over the past two decades, hundreds of thousands of people have flocked to Weston Park for what has become an annual highlight. On Sunday 17 May, May Fayre returns to bring some good old-fashioned family fun to one of the city's best loved green spaces.
The Fayre will feature a vibrant array of street performers and entertainers, including circus entertainers, live music and interactive stalls for family activities. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of exhibitors, food and drink vendors, artisan craft stalls and a children's funfair.
Highlights include:
- Granny Turismo - the legendary Grannies are back in town, rolling in style on their tricked-out shopping trolleys and blasting infectious bass.
- Elton Wrong - a light-hearted take on the culture of tribute acts, Elton will drive a white piano whilst belting out classic songs just like a rocketman, bringing an instant stadium-feel gig to Weston Park.
- Felicity Footloose - Fun and frolics? Check. Daredevil antics? Check. Silly stunts and death-defying juggling? Check. Welcome to the Felicity Footloose Show!
- The Egg Show - Maynard Flip Flap is daft as a brush! He flips Eggs high into the air then attempts to catch them on his head. This internationally travelled street theatre show also includes daring shoes balancing, a coat hanger escape and audience members racing biscuits.
