How long can you last at -3°C in Archer Project’s Fridge Trailer?

The Archer Project presents an interactive and impactful experience where visitors can step inside a space chilled to -3°C. But why this temperature? Traditionally, Sheffield's Severe Weather Emergency Protocol gets activated when forecasts predict -2°C for three consecutive hours; with wind chill, the temperatures on the streets are even lower.

For one day only, the Fridge Trailer will be open at Sheffield Cathedral Forecourt on Saturday 12th October 2024, 1-8pm. Winter is right around the corner. For people without a home, the realities of living on the street in these colder months is extremely daunting.

This event aims to raise awareness about homelessness and the harrowing realities of rough sleeping. The thought-provoking installation challenges visitors to withstand below-freezing temperatures, in an effort to promote awareness and encourage donations.

The number of people registered as homeless in Sheffield is at an all-time high, and the charity needs support more than ever before.

The Archer Project invites the public, local community organisations and media outlets to engage with this experience, as well as in the conversations it starts. Sharing reflections and responses to the piece is strongly encouraged.
