EYE on what’s on
One of Sheffield’s best
loved festive traditions
is to make a sparkling
return this December
S
T Luke’s Hospice
Festival of Light is the
annual celebration that
sees thousands of lights
illuminate the charity’s
Little Common Lane
garden, all dedicated in
memory of loved ones.
This year’s event will be held
on Sunday, December 4th,
hosted by BBC Radio Sheffield
presenter and keen St Luke’s
supporter Paulette Edwards.
“Festival of Light is loved by
St Luke’s supporters and for
many it is the start of the
Festive season,” said St Luke’s Head of Fundraising Joasia
Lesniak.
“It’s a time for us all to come together to remember and
celebrate the lives of our loved ones in a very special way.”
For the first time in 2022, visitors will be able to enjoy food
provided by local street vendors - with both vegetarian and
vegan options available - along with hot drinks and other
refreshments.
There will also be mulled wine and other seasonal drinks, with
live music from Oughtibridge Brass Band and the Sheffield
Hallmark of Harmony Choir.
Lighting up time
in aid of hospice
First Bus will once again be providing a free Park and Ride
service, starting from the Abbeydale Road Tesco car park at
approximately 4.30pm and the last bus leaving the hospice at
7.20pm. The Little Common Lane gardens officially open at 5pm,
with the ceremony scheduled to begin at 6pm.
“We are delighted to invite you to join us in our gardens for a
special evening to remember and celebrate the lives of the ones
you loved,” said Joasia.
“It’s a lovely time to come together and every penny raised
helps us to provide vital care and support to our patients.”
