The Light Tree Celebrations is a festival held in honour of a strange and magnificent tree that once grew on the Sheffield Canal. Maybe the existence of the tree is just a rumour, or the fever dream of an old boat-builder, or maybe it was really there. Whatever the truth is, we’re celebrating.
This celebration event marks the end of a three year project, led by The Bare Project and commissioned by the Canal and River Trust. The Bare Project have led creative arts, food, and permaculture activities, working with communities in Darnall, Attercliffe, Tinsley and the Wicker – neighbourhoods which sit alongside the Sheffield-Tinsley canal. The national project is called Into The Hinterlands, a national arts programme delivered by the Canal and River Trust in collaboration with regional partners, promoting wellbeing and connecting communities, with participatory events along three remote rural, urban and suburban waterways: Pontymoile, Sheffield and Enfield & Tottenham.
Prepare to be pleasantly dazzled.
This project was also made possible with support from:
Arts Council England, The Talbot Trusts, and the Darnall Area Trust Fund.

By Sally Proctor As we draw ever closer towards the spring with unusually bright blue days and sunshiny skies, it brings with it both a time for reflection and pause. Last April saw me join the brilliant team at The Bare Project as the......
