An Evening For Black History Month 2017

Recommended Posts

Join us at the Virgin Money Sheffield Lounge, 66 Fargate Sheffield S1 2HE, Thursday 19th October, 4-7pm, as we are proud to host our first Black History Month Event.

 

The evening will be informative and entertaining for all ages.

 

We will be joined by some eminent speakers from the African Caribbean community, who will talk to us about black history, including learning about inventors, literary greats, scientists, engineers and musicians who are black people that have contributed to things that are often taken for granted in the modern world.

 

We will also have a display of original carnival costumes used in the Sheffield, Leeds and London carnivals, with a chance for you to try on your favourite one!

 

Live African drummers!

 

A musical journey from Calypso and Mento, through to Soul, Ska, Rock Steady and Reggae.

 

Learn about the origins of traditional African attire, and see people wearing these outfits, with a chance to hear what they have to say about their heritage.

 

This event is free, not to be missed and is one that all of the family will enjoy.
