Sheftival Festival - 4th/5th August 2012


Recommended Posts

you can WIN one of 2 adult weekend passes to SHEFTIVAL by visiting our website http://www.junglelionska.co.uk and looking in the 'News' section - there is a LOT of excitement about this event, just the music lineup is fantastic, quite apart from all the other attractions, many of which are free - £12 is a total bargain, about half of what you'd pay to see just one band in say, the 02 or plug.

The 'Village' offers you the buzz and family friendly atmosphere of Sheffield's highly successful multi-cultural Sharrow Festival.

There’s a Sure Start tent for the under-fives and Burngreave Community Radio Station bringing in some of their best acts. There’s also Children's Carnival Parade. The largest tent in the Village is reserved for carnival costume making.

I hope this does well. It's nice to have such things be a part of your city whether you like the music or not.

 

However, it seems to be poorly conceived and can't really decide what it wants to be. The marketing for it (in particular the topline) isn't strong enough and I think this may alienate some people who will be confused by the fact that it's a music festival with pop acts, reggae, bowling, tennis, the Olympics on a screen, real ale trails and a jerk chicken stall

The site map probably best shows what is there...
