In 2015 we were disappointed to be unable to report on Abbeyfield Multicultural Festival.
Unfortunately, due to factors including lack of funds and community organisations being unable to spare staff to organise the event, the festival could not go ahead.
While these challenges are still present, this year the Messenger has decided to step in and gather together a team of volunteers from across the area to create a community network who will be hosting a ‘Burngreave Hullabaloo’.
The Hullabaloo will be replacing the big budget of the festival with community spirit and the generosity of volunteers. There will be stalls, activities, and plenty of fun in Abbeyfield Park on 3rd September from 12-7pm.
If you would like to get involved as a stallholder, volunteer or have any ideas you would like to put forward please contact the Messenger on
