War and Peace give you a very warm welcome to the Sheffield City Giants’ website!
They are the UK’s only Catalan-style processional Giants, belonging to the people of the City of Sheffield. The Friends of the Sheffield City Giants take care of the two Giants, War and Peace, and take them out and about performing specially choreographed dances for the public to see – and having a lot of fun!
Have a good look at our photo and video galleries, find out about the history and traditions of Gianting in the UK and elsewhere in the world, and contact us.
