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.

Crosspool Bake Off 2024

This year’s Crosspool Bake Off is looking as if it will be a wonderful event for baking enthusiasts to show off their skills in a competitive yet friendly environment.
While it shares similarities with the well-known Great British Bake Off, in so much as the format is of amateur bakers competing to impress judges, it offers a unique community feel that might appeal to those who enjoy the camaraderie and challenge of a baking competition.

Participants are invited to bring their creations to St Columba’s Church from 10 am to 12 noon on Tuesday, 2nd July, with results and tasting festivities occurring from 1 pm to 4 pm.

Whether you’re a seasoned baker or someone who finds joy in creating, participating in events like the Crosspool Bake Off can be a perfect way to engage with fellow baking aficionados, learn new techniques, and perhaps even gain recognition for your baking prowess.
It’s a testament to the universal appeal of baking and its ability to bring people together in pursuit of culinary excellence. So, for those who love the rush of the competition and the smell of freshly baked goods, donning an apron for the Crosspool Bake Off could be the perfect way to indulge in your passion for baking.
