Sheffield Heritage Fair Update!
The Heritage Fair was a great success. Thank you to all those who visited us and picked up a copy of our latest newsletter (which contains an end of 2025 update from the Rose Garden Cafe Partnership). We spoke to over 230 people and signed up quite a few new members. Well done to those members who helped out on the 2 days.
Discover more about the Rose Garden Cafe Restoration and the proposed extension of Chantreyland Meadow and Arboretum.
Graves Park is a large park in the south of Sheffield, combining a unique historical landscape with a rich environmental and recreational space. It was established by JG Graves in the 1920s and 30s and given by him to the people of Sheffield for them to enjoy forever. Find out more about the history of Graves Park here. Generations have enjoyed this remarkable place.
Friends of Graves Park is a small charity run by volunteers which exists to protect and enhance this unique place for the people of Sheffield now and into the future.
