A celebration of fiercely independent filmmaking, showcasing raw, bold and passionate films from around the world.
Every November and December, people gather in pubs across Sheffield and North Derbyshire to sing locally-written carols that have passed down through generations. Some of these songs are only sung in Sheffield. Some only in one pub.
With its high vaulted ceiling, large leaded windows and oak panelling, this Edwardian hall lends itself perfectly to the classical setting. Its concerts range from talented student orchestras to more experimental contemporary compositions.
