Meadowhall unveils exciting celebrations for Chinese New Year
Meadowhall has joined forces with organisations across Sheffield to launch exciting celebrations in honour of Chinese New Year.
On Friday 31st January, Meadowhall will host the world champion Foshan Lion Dance Troupe as they make their debut appearance in Sheffield. The troupe will showcase their incredible skill with a short performance in the Lower Oasis at 6.30pm. The event will be introduced by the Lord Mayor, Meadowhall centre director, Darren Pearce and organisers of Sheffield Lunar Chinese New Year.
The Foshan Lion Dance Troupe will also perform at Peace Gardens in Sheffield on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd February, offering even more opportunities to experience the captivating cultural celebration. The ancient tradition of Foshan Lion Dancing is believed to bring good fortune, prosperity, and happiness for the year ahead.
Meadowhall has partnered with Sheffield Lunar Chinese New Year and the Confucius Institute at The University of Sheffield to launch the celebrations and promote awareness and appreciation of key cultural traditions.
The festivities will also raise vital funds for The Children’s Hospital Charity, with proceeds contributing to the life-changing work at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, helping to improve the lives of patients, their families, and the dedicated NHS staff who care for them.
