Sharrow Lantern Carnival Association
The Sharrow Lantern Carnival Association is a small group of volunteers.All donated funds go directly to pay for materials, venue hire and insurance.
We are aiming to hold the Carnival on Sat March 21st.Traditionally it has been held on a Sunday, however this year our friends at Sheffield General Cemetery couldn't host us on the Sunday.
As usual, we will gather at 6pm at the green space in the General Cemetery.
It will start getting dark and so the procession will set off at 6.30pm. There will be hundreds of hand made lanterns, and several Samba bands, winding their way through the General Cemetery for about an hour. and a half.
We will close the Carnival at 8.30pm.
THANK YOU to everyone who came last time, (Sunday Mar 23rd 2025)...
Everyone who made a lantern, everyone who danced, everyone who played or performed, everyone who helped and volunteered, everyone who dressed-up, everyone who stayed-up past their bed-time, everyone who bumped into an old friend and said 'isn't this brilliant'.
And a special thank you to everyone who made a donation, so we can do it all again next year.
