The 29th April is an official holiday and so the streets of Sheffield will be filled with people who have the day off work.

Sheffield City Council has already had 31 applications for street closures and they are expecting to get a few more before the big day.

Royal Wedding activities include a party at Spa Sensations day centre on Spa Lane, Woodhouse.  A party on Devonshire Street on the edge of the city centre.  Residents across Sheffield are also expected to hold their own street parties.

Julie Freeman of Woodseats, Sheffield said; "I am not having a party myself but my neighbour two doors down are having a barbeque and they have invited everyone on the street.  I will be going with my husband."

The Devonshire street party has been organised as a part of Sensoria music and film festival and will run alongside the new Devonshire market which will have around 70 stalls.

Sarah Nulty, co-founder of Tramlines and market organiser said; “With the market we are aiming to recapture some of the Tramlines vibe. When we heard Sensoria were already planning a street party on the bank holiday it seemed like the perfect fit.”

There will be a bar as well as food stalls as the green has got a license for the day. 

The event will run from noon until 8pm on April 29^th.
