Peace in the Park 2007

Peace in the Park returned to Endliffe Park amongst slavering sea monsters, poetical pirates, brilliant bands, searing solo-musicians, delightful DJs, coruscating comedians, demonic drummers, face-painters, films, fantastic food, and much more festival fun! See Flickr and Indymedia for pics. We raised over £3000 for Sheffield Assist and Stepping Stones Nigeria!

 

Peace in the Park 2006

In the enchanting surroundings of Sheffield General Cemetery the festival entertained huge crowds. We raised £1500 and the money was split between Heeley City Farm, a local environmental education project, and Goal, raising funds to provide essential facilities in refugee camps in war-torn Sudan.

Peace in the Park 2005

We raised about £1500 for our nominated charities the Sheffield Archer Project, a charity providing support for the homeless, and the Intermediate Technology Development Group, an international charity working on practical ways to end poverty for people in need all over the world. The festival was in The Sheffield General Cemetery between Ecclesall Road and Cemetery Road.

 

Peace in the Park 2004

In 2004 the festival moved to the lush Endcliffe park, giving enough space for the festival to accomodate a live stage, open-mic stage, healing area, democracy cafe, dance tent, kids area and many more stalls. Money was raised for Assist, a charity supporting destitute asylum seekers, and WaterAid.
 

Peace in the Park 2003

In 2003 the first Peace in the Park was held on Devonshire Green in Sheffield City centre, evolving from grassroots protests in opposition to war. The festival hosted a venue for local bands, artists, musicians, campaigning groups and members of the public to come together in unity, making a solid commitment to peace.
