Hidden Figures – Stalls and Music Energisers

15 Oct 2024 - 19 Oct 2024

Drop your pens, switch off your phones and call into the Winter Garden to immerse yourself in energising music. Each day will feature live performers and recorded music from Gospel and Ska to Reggae and Jazz to leave everyone feeling energised. Plus, the chance to browse stalls and buy a range of unique products and gifts.

Music Energiser at 1pm each day. Stalls 11am-4pm.

This celebration of Black History shines a light on the ‘Hidden Figures’ – the often-overlooked Black contributors to science, music, design and dance. An exhibition in the Winter Garden, talks, energiser sessions and educational activities will explore the rich legacy of Black achievement right up to the present day. This event isn’t just about Black history, it’s about showing how these creative skills are woven into our everyday lives. This project will partner with Bradford, Manchester and Nottingham to bring interactive exhibits to Winter Gardens, creating a truly inclusive celebration for all Sheffield communities.
