Parkwood Springs is an amazing natural 'wild' space close to the centre of the city of Sheffield. There is woodland and heath, open parkland, and a range of natural habitats where wild lupins bloom, kestrels hover, and deer have been seen again. There are spectacular views over the city centre, the suburbs and the distant moors of the Peak District.

Parkwood Springs Community Lantern Procession has developed over 10 years to be a fantastic free and accessible community event. It is organised by the Friends of Parkwood Springs, local artists and volunteers.

This is the evening session: The procession starts at 5.45pm. It will go up to the viewpoint where people will see the Big Fish. There will be a short puppet show and then the procession will continue down through the woods to the playing field. The Big Fish is to follow the procession. This will be at approximately 6.30pm. And this is where we will need help. It will take 8 people to carry it - through the woods and around the field. Please help by carrying the Big Fish lantern and load up into the van at the end of the event.

Please report to Patrick Amber or a member of the Friends of Parkwood Spring organisation once getting on site.
