Sheffield's last fair of the year.

Noticed all the windows have been whitened out and the shop looks empty. This is the 99p shop near Argos, has it closed down?, or it is been re-furbished. Only saw this from the distance going past on the bus, noticed some notices up, but was too far away to read them.

try Sismans in the Wicker.They sell most 'hard to get' bulbs and fittings etc..

On my third Vauxhall now from Pentagon, never had any problems, always helpful and a good service.

please note the council do not pay towards this event except to provide advice and 4 litter bins via the parks dept,all acts rides ect had and were paid on the day,all turned up but some could not perform due to the weather,our money comes via donations that all festivals can bid for,and money from the stall bookings,we don't make a profit and if theres any money left its carried over,but never much,we are all volunteers no wages,we have obtained a small lottery grant for basics for 2015,re-the beer tent we have never had one thanks

Keep up the good work Bassett One, this must be the best free to enter show in the Sheffield area. I do not know you but I can tell by your comments on here that you are passionate about this event.

The dodgems are in town so they won't be at this one.

Same as previous years, but Farrar's own other rides as well.

It has just been confirmed the fair will go ahead, open daily from 1pm, Wed 13th to Sunday 17th.

Does this open tomorrow or Wednesday?

It is scheduled to run from Aug 13 -17 but with all the rain it may get postponed.

Hope the weather forecast is wrong for Sunday, heavy rain most of the day.

Try Music Junkie on Cambridge St.

Does anyone know when it's due to leave?

 

TIA

1-5, 4-8 daily £7.99 for unlimited rides

take them to Heeley city farm, the butterfly centre at todwick, or forge dam, padley gorge, google places to take kids on holiday from school try cresswell crags and see the cave men drawings and other things. look in he star they may have published places to go sure there will be some thing happening on Devonshire green, take them round the museum at western park good luck x

Sheffield by the Seaside is on again in the Peace Gardens from July 31st.

No re-enactment this year.

I only bought 4 items but needed the receipt to put them through my books for my business.

Bought a few bits in Poundland ( Old TJ Hughes) today, paid and was checking the receipt was in the bag as they were business related and no receipt. The assistant said I did not think you wanted one and had thrown it in the bin. There were loads in the bin and she could not find it, so after calling a manager by which time a queue had built up, a duplicate was issued. She said they throw them all in the bin, so what if I had been stopped on my way out, how could I prove that I had paid. A strange way to operate a retail business.

Money off vouchers in today's Star.
