Our little heroes have stayed indoors without really understanding why they can’t go out or see their family and friends
In the blink of an eye, their lives have been turned upside down and they are expected to follow rules they have never known, and live a life they couldn’t have ever imagined.
To show how proud we are of them aIL let’s get everyone clapping, on this warm and sunny day, for our little heroes?
Clap for our CarersReturning for the second week in succession amid the coronavirus outbreak, people in Crosspool are expected to clap from doorsteps, windows, gardens, and balconies to thank the NHS champions.
It comes a week after the first Clap for Carers and is expected to begin at 8pm tonight.
It’s hoped that more will take part in tonight’s tribute to our NHS carers and key workers, who are working round the clock to help keep us all safe in these very difficult times.
In light of the current pandemic, the festival team has made the decision to cancel this year’s festival.
All the events planned will be carried forward to late June 2021, when it is hoped that all of Crosspool will be able to come together to celebrate.
Whirlow Hall Farm Trust are opening their barn doors early this year and inviting you to meet their gorgeous new-born lambs during February’s half term. Come and get a glimpse of life at a working farm preparing to herald in the springtime. You’ll have the chance to get up close to adorable additions and a brand new selection of rare breed sheep. There will be something new for the whole family to learn about the busy farming tradition of lambing. Watch new-borns frolic, play and feed, and if you’re lucky you might even see some being born!
There’ll be loads to do and loads to see on your fun packed visit to the farm throughout the two day event. A selection of family entertainment activities including pony riding, free craft activities for children, slime making, forest school activities, face painting, puzzle trail, Punch & Judy shows Storytelling sessions, and the chance to visit chickens, small animals and the horses. Throughout the event, our excellent farm shop and café (with delicious homemade cakes on offer), will be open, as will the famous Whirlow BBQ!
It is an educational charity working with children across South Yorkshire, to improve the aspirations and life chances of vulnerable young people outside of mainstream education, in the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and develop to their full potential, whatever their circumstances. By attending their events you are supporting this valuable work that they do with local children & young people. All the money raised at the event will go toward supporting the charitable work of the trust.
