There’s still time to enter this year’s photo competition, which is part of the 2018 Crosspool Festival.
The theme of this year’s competition is the contribution of women in the world. There will be a public vote, an exhibition, and the winner’s photo could be included in the Crosspool Calendar.
There are three age categories and you have until Monday 11 June to enter.
On Tuesday 29 May the annual fell race organised by Hallamshire Harriers and hosted by Hallam Cricket Club returns to Crosspool.
At 8pm on the Tuesday evening after the second bank holiday in May, runners set off from Hallam Football/Cricket Club’s Sandygate ground, go down Den Bank through the Rivelin Valley and up to Stannington church, before returning by the same route. The Hallam Chase run 3¼ miles long, with 800 feet of climb.
The record time of 19 minutes 42 seconds was set in 1968 by Trevor Wright.
Find out more on the Hallam Chase and Hallamshire Harriers websites.
A special open mic edition of Nest’s popular acoustic night is taking place as part of this year’s Crosspool Festival.
It’s your chance to play a couple of songs, unplugged and with no microphone, to a friendly Crosspool Festival crowd – or just turn up and watch!
To finish the evening there will be a special set of folk and originals from acoustic night favourites The Finch Charmers.
Last year’s well dressing helpers are being asked to check their garages and garden huts as we are not sure where they were stored after the 2017 festival.
