‘A Celebration of Tramlines’ took place last weekend (Fri 31st July – Sun 2nd Aug) on what would have been the dates for the 2020 festival. Although the festival in Hillsborough Park could not go ahead as planned, Tramlines Festival hosted a series of online events including, ‘Rev’s Pub Quiz’, exclusive artist performances and an online ‘Club Tropicana’ disco with Sheffield venue, The Leadmill. Tramlines Festival also used the opportunity to raise money for local causes through a number of ways. The ‘Big Fat Charity Raffle’ included a huge array of prizes such as a lifetime festival pass, record bundles and even a Playstation 4, with all money raised going to charity. They also raised money from the sale of their Limited Edition ‘Chari-Tees’ which are still on sale now and include bespoke designs from Sheffield artist, Tom J Newell and the Tramlines team. In addition to this, Thornbridge brewery created, ‘In The Park’, a session IPA which is also still on sale via the Thornbridge website with 10% of all proceeds going to the chosen charities.
Tramlines Festival is very proud to reveal that £19,600 has been raised so far, a staggering amount that shows the Tramlines spirit is still going strong in these uncertain times. This huge (and ever growing) amount brings the total raised for charity since moving to Hillsborough Park to an amazing £73,500!
