STREETS IN THE SKY AS CASTLEGATE REVEALS ITS ANCIENT HISTORY Things are looking up for Castlegate in Sheffield ahead of the return of a popular festival which celebrates the area’s past, present and future. Events in Castlegate will be in full swing this weekend as anticipation builds for a raft of new developments in Sheffield’s ancient heart. A number of temporary historic street signs have appeared in the area which show Castlegate’s history such as Under The Water (Bridge Street) Pudding Lane.(King Street) and Truelove’s Gutter – now Castle Street.

Preparations are gearing up for two major festivals in the area this weekend. Canal & River Trust are hosting Sheffield Waterfront Festival, the biggest waterways celebration for many years is taking place across the weekend to commemorate the 200th birthday of the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal, with music, family fun, arts and food from Victoria Quays right up to the fast regenerating Exchange Street, all day on Saturday 21 September. The weekend will see the launch of the Canal Street Art Trail along the

waterway with local street artists including collective Concrete Canvas – who are also showcasing work on Exchange Street throughout September. Castlegate ESCape is a free community streetparty on Exchange Street to celebrate the diversity and culture of Castlegate and the surrounding areas, featuring live music, DJs, live art, talks, spoken word poetry, local food vendors, independent retail stalls and much more.
