Things to do
FESTIVALS
A number of successful pop and rock bands hail from Sheffield, so it’s no surprise that the Tramlines, an annual music festival, is held here. There are also comedy and film festivals throughout the year.
CULTURE
Between them the Crucible, the Lyceum and the Studio Theatre make up the biggest theatre district in the UK outside of London – making Sheffield a cultural hotspot and perfect for a city break. You can listen to arias by Opera North perform here, or catch a West End show on tour.
NATURE
There are 89 parks within Sheffield itself, including the Peace Gardens right in the city centre with its impressive water features. Sheffield is also on the edge of the Peak District National Park, an area of rugged beauty and a favourite escape for walkers.
