Tramlines Festival Funds New Tree Avenue in Park

An avenue of trees has been established in a park following a financial contribution from a prominent music festival. The organizers of Tramlines provided the funding for 11 lime trees for Hillsborough Park in Sheffield, the location where the festival is held in July. This year, the Tramlines Trust has contributed more than £32,000 to various projects within the local community. Timm Cleasby, the festival’s director of operations, stated that their intention was to assist individuals who “work hard every day to improve and support others.” Children from Hillsborough Primary School were invited to participate in the tree planting. Mr. Cleasby further remarked: “As ever, I’m so proud to see the many projects in the local area which are helping people in many different ways.”I’m glad that Tramlines can contribute to this work. I see this as an essential part of the festival and can’t wait to see the new avenue of trees.” Vicky Westwood, a teacher at Hillsborough Primary School, characterized the experience as a “good opportunity” for the pupils, who named one of the specimens Petals. She added: “Anything sort of hands-on, getting out in the park, they love.” The Tramlines Festival has been situated at Hillsborough Park since its relocation from the city centre in 2018. Half of the Trust’s allocated funding is directed towards initiatives within the Hillsborough area.
