Welcome to the 41st Broomhill Festival
It is a great pleasure to introduce our brochure for the 41st Broomhill Festival. We will be
celebrating several historic anniversaries this year: the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, the
200th anniversary of Waterloo and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice in Wonderland.
These historical events are featured during our Festival through talks, family activities and musical
events. Alice in Wonderland is the theme for the Festival. We have a kids’ treasure hunt where
children can hunt for items in shop windows that tell the story of Alice in Wonderland, fancy dress
at the children’s parade, and a celebration- Buzz in Wonderland- by one of our charities for this
year, Project Buzz. We will also be hosting a Mad Hatter’s Buffet at the Rutland Hotel and, lastly,
it will be our theme in the Café at the Garden Party. We will also be able to enjoy old favourites
including musical entertainment and quizzes in the local pubs, and shops, concerts and talks in St.
Mark’s and at the Beacon in Broomhill, as well as the ever popular five-a-side football tournament
which attracts many teams of local schoolchildren. Another very popular event is the Open Gardens
which will take place on Sunday 14 June.
The 41st Festival begins on 5 June 2015 with an opening concert by the world renowned organist
of Liverpool Cathedral who will be giving a recital on the newly restored St. Mark’s Church organ.
The Festival finishes on the weekend of 20/21 June with the usual Garden Party on the church
green and the Festival Service at St. Mark’s on the Sunday. This year’s chosen charities are BBEST
Action Limited (a neighbourhood planning forum, to produce a neighbourhood plan for the
Broomhill, Broomfield, Endcliffe, Somerfield & Tapton areas), Broomhill Community Library (to
support the developing long term plan for the library building to operate as a community centre
in Broomhill), Project Buzz (Buzz was originally set up in 1999, in response to parental requests
for somewhere safe for children to play and now provides services to support vulnerable children
and families living locally), and Sheffield Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (established in 1980; its
key objectives are to alleviate the extensive consequences of the trauma of
rape and sexual abuse, and to raise awareness of the issues of rape and sexual
violence).
Jane Padget,
Chair of the Broomhill Festival Planning Group
We hope you enjoy our 2015 Programme.

Chosen Charities for
BBEST
The BBEST
(Broomhill,
Broomfield,
Endcliffe, Somerfield
and Tapton areas) Neighbourhood Planning
Forum was formed in 2013 following the
2011 Localism Act which gave power to
local communities to create their own local
development plans. The local plan will sit
alongside the city’s umbrella plan and gives
us the power to set our own vision for the
future of our area.
Development began in 2014 and key themes
of architecture, transport, retail green spaces
and housing have been actively worked on.
The Forum has open meetings for all who live
and work in the area to attend, and is also
working on a number of projects, such as
supporting the development of a community
hub. An early draft plan will be discussed in
November, leading to the production of the
final plan in 2016 and a vote for all residents
in the area to approve the plan. The plan,
once it is in place, opens up avenues to obtain
further funding for local projects.
Look out for details of the meetings on our
website and in Broomhill Library.
To join BBEST, email [email protected], or for
more information visit our website at:
bbest.org.uk.
PROJECT BUZZ
At Buzz, our aim is to enrich
the lives of families within
the local community. Buzz is service user
led, meaning that all activities are planned
in response to requests.
Our values are really important to us and are
alive in our everyday work; inclusive,
passionate, positive, responsive and dynamic.
Since 1999, we have developed trusting
relationships with our families, offering
activities such as an after school club, holiday
activities, family learning courses and
international events. Many of the
children we work with have behavioural,
social, emotional and other special
4
needs. These children are supported within our
'Buzz Buddies' group, where they are given a
high level of support from highly skilled staff
and volunteers. Many of the parents that
attend courses and activities at Buzz speak
English as an additional language. As a result,
parents often struggle with confidence and
independence issues.
To support our work, we regularly hold
fundraising events and have good links with
the Sheffield Universities. Within the last
couple of years, we have developed our social
enterprise; Children’s parties, wedding crèches
and mobile crèches. The income generated
through this is directed straight back into our
work with families in need, within the local
community.

BROOMHILL COMMUNITY
LIBRARY (BCL)
BCL is the voluntary
organisation which, since
the end of September 2014, has provided the
library service for Broomhill and its
neighbouring areas. It is the third busiest
branch library in the City. All the basic library
services - books, newspapers, audio-visual
material (DVDs, CDs), and computers for
internet access and private study are provided.
It also offers a varied programme of events &
activities for people of all ages and the
children’s weekly groups are very well
supported. The building may also be booked by
other organisations who wish to use it.
BCL now has a membership of well over 100
volunteers and also a Friends Group. The
volunteers staff the Library and carry out all the
wide range of tasks necessary to create an
organisation from scratch, to develop it and run
it as an effective company.
Broomhill Library is the only ‘public’ building in
the area and BCL’s members hope to develop
the building and its historic garden into a
comprehensive community facility.
If you would like to join BCL as a volunteer
and/or as a Friend, you can obtain more
information from the web site - broomhilllibrary.org.uk - and volunteers in the Library.

SHEFFIELD RAPE
AND SEXUAL
ABUSE CENTRE
Sheffield Rape and Sexual
Abuse Centre (SRASAC),
established in 1980, is an independent
charity organisation providing support for
women and girls in Sheffield who have
experienced rape or sexual abuse at any
times in their lives. They are a specialist
women-only service, and offer up to 20
free face to face counselling for women
and girls (from age 13) living or working in
Sheffield, as well as a telephone helpline
service.
During the period from April 2014 to March
2015, the Centre supported 241 women, and
took around 1000 calls to the helpline. They
have also set up a pre-therapy group for
women on the waiting list for counselling,
which ran for 6 weeks earlier in the year. The
Centre is always looking for ways to increase
accessibility to its services and to reach out to
all communities in Sheffield.

Its Content and Context

reign of King John and the reasons why it is
still considered to be so important.

DAVID STOKER
The Festival has
great pleasure in
featuring the
photography of
David Stoker
within the Art
Exhibition again
this year.
September 30th
will be the fifth
anniversary of
David’s death.
David died at the
age of 30 of a brain tumour. He was a much
loved member of St. Mark’s church and
served the church and the Festival very well.
He gave freely of his talent and considerable
design ability, creating much of its print
work including the St. Mark’s Church logo
and much of the Broomhill Festival material.
Although he trained and lived in Sheffield,
David was born and brought up in
Derbyshire, and from time to time loved to
escape to the hills around his village of
Winster. He came to St Mark’s via the
University (he said) because they offered a
good lunch to students on Sundays. David
was a talented photographer with that rare
ability to capture the essence of a subject.
Photography and art was well established in
his family so it was no surprise that David
had a wonderful eye for a good picture.
Rarely without a camera, David
photographed many Church and Festival
events, leaving a large archive of pictures.
We will have a supply of his work for sale
and we are sure he would be pleased to
know that his work is still generating funds
for the Festival charities.

Featured Artists
SAM GROOM
Sam is a Sheffield based printmaker working
from her home studio. She loves all kinds of
printmaking and uses a range of techniques,
from wood and linocut printing to
silkscreen and potato-cut printing in
her work.
She likes to create bold, brightly
coloured, playful prints that are
inspired by the simple and everyday
things in life that she sees around
her. At the moment she is printing
trees, flowers, birds and terraced
houses. She often combines printing
techniques and creates one off
printed pieces rather than producing
printed editions. As well as printing
onto paper, she prints onto fabric
and recycled cardboard to produce
items such as lampshades, tea
towels, scarves, bags and free
standing printed artwork.
She also really enjoys making
collages using paper from discarded
prints. She likes arranging and
composing the simple shapes,
textures and patterns of the papers.
Her collages, as well as being art
works in their own right, are also
often the inspiration for new prints.
She runs a range of printmaking classes from
her home studio as well as from
various other locations around
Sheffield. www.samanthagroom.co.uk

composition are hall marks of Steve’s lightfilled paintings, which set out to capture the
spirit and atmosphere of the Derbyshire
landscape. Broad skies, hill brows and open
spaces feature prominently. His expressive
paintings evoke the drama of light
and colour in all seasons. Images
range from naturalistic to semiabstract, and draw on the elemental
character of the Dark Peak with its
windswept heather and bleachedgrass moorlands, gritstone outcrops
and fast-changing, active skies.
"The versatility of pastel is superbly
adapted to the portrayal of light and
colour. Subtle textures, vibrant hues
and atmospheric tones are
characteristic of my work. I enjoy
finding new ways of expressing the
broader visual qualities I look for in
landscape, seeking expressive images
which will resonate with the viewer."
Work is exhibited at major contemporary art
fairs and exhibitions across the UK. An
active member of Peak District Artisans "a
highly successful association of some of the
very best professional fine artists, designer
makers and contemporary artisans based in
and around the Derbyshire Peak District".
