Nether Edge is a vibrant community made up of people from far and wide, all adding something to make our little corner of Sheffield the special place it is.
The Festival aims to showcase the talents of our wonderfully diverse residents – and, of course, to have fun together!
Join the Nether Edge Festival 2020 Scarecrow Trail by creating your very own scarecrow to display outside your house!
Dress him/her however you wish – you can pick up a free Nether Edge Festival t-shirt from Vicky at Wickwire to get you started
Display your marvellous creation for all to see in time for the Festival beginning on September 12th.
Send the location of your scarecrow to Jack Massey (priorymount@blueyonder.co.uk) so we can create a scarecrow map!
This self-guided walk aims to capture some of the key features and impact of the German air raids.
• Your starting point is St Andrew’s Church on Psalter Lane (at the junction with Cherry Tree Road).
The walk ends on Machon Bank Road opposite Sainsbury’s supermarket.
• Blitz images are identified in the notes by letter and are grouped together on separate pages.
• Eye witness accounts are included in italics. These can be read out at the appropriate stops
• The route of the walk and stopping points are marked on the map below. The red dots give an approximate indication of where bombs fell.
Trail, information and images can be found below.

Between the 13th and the 20th of September Sheffield General Cemetery will be running activities as part of Heritage Open Days. Come and try our self-guided family-friendly nature and history trails around the Cemetery. Maps will be available to download to your phone so you can explore and keep COVID safe.
Three self-guided walks have been created for Heritage Open Days provide interesting and fun ways to explore and learn about the Cemetery. These are:
Self-guided History Trail – Find out about some of the 87,000 people buried here – rich and poor, famous, and not so – and their stories. Each of these hidden people have fascinating tales to tell that include connections from across the globe, experiences of the Great Sheffield Flood, circuses, and murder!
Self-guided Nature Trail – The site is a Local Nature Reserve and is home to many species of creatures and plants… if you know where to look! Let us show you how we look after the nature in the Cemetery.
Self-guided Buildings Trail – Visit the buildings on site and find out more about the design and construction of the Cemetery, including its associations with ancient Egyptian and Classical mythology.
Visit the General Cemetery’s pop-up cafe and SGCT book stall Sunday 20th September.
