Hi all – another varied round-up here, with a further update due out on
Monday (so don’t sorry if I haven’t included your item yet!). Enjoy
this beautiful weather and wishing you a good weekend - best wishes,
Rebecca.
After 4 highly successful years we are now receiving applications for
the 5th *Sheffield Ceramics Festival*. This , as usual, will be staged
in the delightful walled Garden in Meersbrook Park. The event is open to
all on the 22nd and 23rd September 2019.(11-5.00 Sat. 11-4.30 Sunday).
There will be over 40 Ceramic artists from around the region displaying
their work, ceramic related workshops and events including the ever
popular raku workshop, a sculpture display in the Japanese garden, and
of course the garden itself. Stellas kitchen will be serving hot food
and coffee tea and excellent cakes from the Meersbrook kitchens.

For some people, access to live music gigs, theatre performances and
other events is taken for granted but sadly this is not the case for
many others. Financial constraints, care commitments and social
exclusion are just some of the barriers that can prohibit people from
going out and enjoying events.
*The Ticket Bank*is a digital project, created and based in Sheffield,
that is providing free tickets to a wide range of events. These tickets
can be accessed for free by registered community organisations and
charities.
The Ticket Bank program has now hit well over 500+ tickets donated to
disadvantaged people in receipt of charity assistance and with over 100
charities on the platform, this figure will continue to grow. They have
formed new partnerships in their native Sheffield, alongside
Manchester, London, Bristol and York and have delivered a successful
campaign for */Off The Shelf Festival/ *in 2018
Registered charities and non-profit community groups are invited to sign
up via the website so that they can immediately start distributing free
tickets to their clients and service users.***https://theticketbank.org/***
