“A Year with the Chain Gang”

Sioned-Mair Richard was Lord Mayor of Sheffield from May 2022 to May 2023 which she describes as “a huge privilege”. She was an ardent supporter of our library and visited us several times. In this talk, she describes her experience of  “a year of contrasts from the Cutler’s feast to giant slides in Norfolk Park. Finding parts of Sheffield you didn’t know existed and then back down to earth with a bump!”

Doors open / refreshments 7.00pm. Talk starts 7.30

Tickets £5 from the library or online at greenhill.bookwhen.com

Bottle Green Knickers with pockets

An evening of nostalgia. Monica talks about growing up in 1950’s Sheffield – a time with no central heating, fitted carpets, computers, automatic washing machines, or mobile phones; when households relied on the red phone box at the end of the street, and no-one took holidays abroad.

Doors open / refreshments 7.00pm. Talk starts 7.30. Tickets soon!
