Crosspool Well Dressing 2024

Well-dressing 2024
Olympic word search

Make sure you take a look at this year’s festival well-dressing when you go past the grassy bank at the junction of Selborne Road and Watt Lane on Sandygate Road.

This year’s well-dressing theme, inspired by the Olympic Games, has been skilfully created by our dedicated group of volunteers using natural materials to craft an intricate design that pays homage to the athletes and the diverse cultures they represent. Their tireless efforts have culminated in a stunning display that captures the essence of the Olympic spirit.

Crosspool Festival Programme

We invite you all to join us in celebrating this remarkable work of art with the people who brought it to life when the well-dressing is dedicated this Friday 28th June, 6-30 7.00pm. by Rev. Tracey Morris of St Columba’s Crosspool & Stephen Hill Methodist Church and uniformed youth groups.
Your support and enthusiasm will make this event a success and keep our traditions alive for future generations.

gofundme

Any donations given through `gofundme’ or at the well-dressing, no matter how small, will be gratefully received and the total amount will be split between this year’s two festival charities – Assist Sheffield & Médecins Sans Frontière (MSF).

Assist Sheffield offers support to those seeking sanctuary in the city, providing accommodation, information, and other essential services.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization that provides emergency aid in conflict zones and areas affected by diseases.
