Tramlines, a popular festival hosted in Sheffield, has been licensed permission to host in Hillsborough Park by the charity the City Council’s Trustee Sub-Committee for 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tramlines Festival is one of the UK\u2019s longest-running, city-based music festivals, hosted in Sheffield since its first festival in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The festival has taken place in Hillsborough Park since 2018 after the original premises licence was granted to Tramlines Event Limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, last year\u2019s Tramline event led to the discussion of whether Tramlines should still be granted permission to be located in Hillsborough Park this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2023, the festival was described as a \u2018mud bath\u2019 due to heavy rainfall and ‘adverse weather’ during the events’ weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was reported that \u2018extra groundwork repairs\u2019 were needed to help restore Hillsborough Park after the weekend was finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This led to a comprehensive review of whether the Charity Trustee Sub-Committee should allow the festival to be hosted in the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The review took place on the 4th of March which resulted in an agreement granting approval for a revised licence agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This included a fee scheduled for the next five events in Hillsborough Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Councillor Ian Auckland, Chair of the Charity Trustee Sub-Committee at Sheffield City Council, said: \u201cIt is crucial that we protect our parks and it\u2019s great to see that we have revised our licence agreement to reflect this\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: \u201cTramlines Festival bring enormous benefits to the city and is enjoyed and celebrated by many.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the agreement, \u00a310,000 of the annual fee for Tramlines will be used to improve, replace, or install equipment or facilities to advance the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The licence agreement has stated to \u2018provide protection for the Hillsborough Park Charity\u2019 and to \u2018consider the best interest of the park\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gary Clifton, Major Events Manager at Sheffield City Council, said that hosting Tramlines at Hillsborough Park will \u2018represent a positive benefit for the park\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gary Clifton added: “Events like Tramlines builds Sheffield’s brand and reputation.” and “is a highlight in Sheffield’s calendar events.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the review rejected Tramlines to be hosted in Hillsborough Park, it would have been suggested to move the Tramlines festival to a different city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tramlines Festival states it is \u2018proud to call Hillsborough Park our home\u2019 after hosting there for the past 6 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
