999 Fun Day on The Moor

Back for another year, The Moor Sheffield will be hosting their 999 Fun Day in association with the National Emergency Services Museum on Sunday 12^th May between 11am and 4pm.

Fire your imagination with a jam-packed schedule of engaging free activities. Come face-to-face with front line firefighters, police officers, ambulance personnel and volunteers of the RNLI. Explore modern day emergency service vehicles, alongside the National Emergency Service Museum’s collection of ex-emergency service vehicles from across the country. Look at the inside of a speed camera van, get your fingerprints taken, try on real uniform, enjoy a bouncy castle, and learn about vital life safety from the very people who keep us safe.

Exhibitors at the event include:

• National Emergency Services Museum – Vintage Vehicles, Fire Engine Bouncy Castle, House Fire Experience
• Ambulance Heritage Society

Lee Appleton, Centre Manager for The Moor, said: “We are overjoyed to bring the ever-popular 999 Fun Day back to The Moor for another year. This event was so well received last year, as it had been in previous years, and we look forward to further success as more people get involved in this day of free fun. We hope to bring lots of people to Sheffield City Centre, whilst supporting the National Emergency Services Museum and our local emergency service workers.”
