The Crosspool Forum’s quarterly Open Meetings, held at St. Columba’s Church, play a crucial role in bringing together members of the community to discuss important issues and share ideas.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the date for the next open meeting, originally scheduled for its usual day, has now been moved on by a day to 7 p.m. Friday, 31st January
To bring joy and friendship to the Crosspool community, today the Crosspool Forum hosted their annual Children’s Christmas Party at St Columba’s Church. A magical festive afternoon of fun, music and refreshments for the children and their families.
The highlight of the party was the magical and entertaining performance by Barney Baloney and Henry the Cheeky Monkey.
Barney Baloney, a talented magician and entertainer, had the children and their families captivated with his incredible magic tricks and illusions.
The children were in awe as Barney performed his tricks, making objects disappear and reappear before their very eyes. Henry’s antics added an element of surprise and delight to the show, as he caused chaos and mayhem. Delighted by Henry’s antics, their laughter and smiles filled the room with joy and laughter.
Thoroughly enjoying the entertainment and the chance to celebrate the Christmas season together, the parents and guardians were delighted to see their little ones having such a wonderful time.
The Crosspool Forum had worked tirelessly to organize the party, ensuring that every detail was taken care of to make the afternoon special for the children. From the entertainment, the amazing raffle prizes and Christmas gifts, to the delicious refreshments, every aspect of the event was designed for fun and laughter. Â
As the party drew to a close, the sense of community and friendship was palpable. The children and their families, who had come together to celebrate the Christmas season with a traditional Children’s Christmas Party, left with beaming smiles and clutching Christmas gifts from Father Christmas and memories that would last a lifetime.

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.
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.
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.
