escort1 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Not surprised, not very well attended for the last few years since the re-enactments were stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apelike Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Last year I believe it was more of a washout due to the weather. But.. how many times do people want to watch the same old re-enactment being played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassett one Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 I like re-enactment and its great as long as theres other things at a event,but if its true that there will be no event,then I think this is cruel as its always had a event,going back 50 plus years to my knowledge,why not just re-vamp it or the friends group take it over like many other parks have done.

Hesther Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yes, it is a great shame. Had many a fabulous day with the family at Norfolk Park. It's a brilliant park and it's so central, and lots of good transport links, including supertram, for an event like this. The location is so good, just on the edge of the city centre, and there's ample parking close by. The outdoor bar must have made enough to keep the cost of the whole fair going?

The Sheffield Fayre only started in 2002 not the 1960's although various other events over the years have been held in Norfolk Park now known as Norfolk Heritage Park. 1972 saw Its A knockout held there also there used to be regular car shows, fun fairs, Army displays,cycle races and even The Hungarian Circus and ballet in the Big top have appeared there. The Sheffield show began in the 1960's originally held in Endcliffe Park, then Hillsborough Park and the last ones were held at Graves Park when put on by a private company, not Sheffield Council.
