🏮💖 A Day of Love & Prosperity! 💖🏮

Today, as we embrace the fifth day of the first month of the Lunar Calendar, we welcome the God of Wealth into our homes and hearts, a tradition rich in hope and prosperity. And in a beautiful twist of fate, today is also Valentine's Day, a global celebration of love and affection. 🌟❤️

In Sheffield, we're blessed to celebrate this dual occasion within our vibrant community. Let's open our doors to fortune and our hearts to love, creating unforgettable memories with our loved ones. Whether it’s sharing traditional treats, exchanging gifts, or simply spending quality time together, today is a perfect fusion of cultural richness and the universal language of love. 🍊💑

May the God of Wealth bring abundance and happiness to your life, and may Valentine's Day fill it with love and warmth. Here's to a day filled with prosperity, joy, and love in every form.

Happy Lunar New Year and Happy Valentine's Day, Sheffield! Let's make it a day to remember! 🎉💘

The Children’s Hospital Charity will once again mark the Lunar New Year this February by lighting up Sheffield Children’s Hospital with a 5-meter dragon.

The display is part of a wider Sheffield celebration welcoming the Year of the Dragon, which includes a food festival at the Peace Gardens, a celebration evening at the University of Sheffield’s Octagon Centre, and a dinner at local restaurant China Red.

The five-day event, taking place from Friday 9th to Tuesday 13th February, is named Sheffield Chinese Lunar New Year Festival and is an inclusive celebration of the diversity in the city. The festival is spearheaded by Jerry Cheung, MD at New Era Development Ltd, and assisted by Kelvin Quick of China Red, among others, and brings Eastern culture to the heart of Sheffield with food, music and dragon dancing.

The celebrations will begin with the switch-on of the dragon display at Sheffield Children’s. The dragon is positioned on the hospital’s Outpatients Department, overlooking Clarkson Street, and will be illuminated on Friday 9th February.

The Dragon is possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of businesses, community groups and individuals from across the Sheffield region. Last year supporters raised over £13,000 through their sponsorship, and there is still time to sponsor the dragon this year.

Money raised throughout the festival will support The Children’s Hospital Charity to change lives at Sheffield Children’s.

On Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th over 35 stalls will take over the Peace Gardens, with amazing cuisine, art and more.

For the evening of Saturday 10th February, a celebration with traditional dragon dancing, singing, and much more will grace the Octagon stage. The celebrations will then culminate in a special dinner at China Red for sponsors of the Sheffield Children’s dragon and other key partners in the festival.

After last year’s event Jerry Cheung commented: “I have a very deep passion for community, and obviously, most of us have children in our lives that hold special places in our hearts.

“This event is about culture sharing, bringing communities together; about bringing people together; and at the same time, we’re able to raise money for a good cause.”

Diane Jarvis, Head of Business Operations at Sheffield BID which is supporting the event, said: “We’re delighted to contribute to developing this festival by bringing a new outdoor element to this year’s programme with vibrant cultural activities in the Peace Garden. We’re particularly excited about the planned Dragon Parade on Sunday, 11 February. Extending the festival to attract thousands of visitors to the city centre is a fantastic boost to the city’s major events calendar. We have a great opportunity to build on this event over the coming years. Lunar Chinese New Year celebrations are legendary in other cities and Sheffield has the same ambition.”

The Lord Mayor commented: “I am very pleased that we will be celebrating the Lunar New Year in style this year. We have a much fuller programme from previous years, and it will be an opportunity for all communities to be involved in this celebration. I am looking forward to taking part in many of the planned events.”

The Children’s Hospital Charity will open the festivities with the switch on of their Dragon light display at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. On Saturday, the Peace Gardens will host an array of stalls before a gala takes over the Octagon Centre in the evening. Sunday sees a parade from the town hall to performances in the Peace Gardens with acrobats that have come all the way from China helping to bring in the new year. The festivities will be rounded off with a Charity Auction dinner at local restaurant China Red.

For the second year in a row the festival is raising money for Sheffield Children’s, helping to change the lives of children and families from across the UK and beyond.
