As the weather heats up, the countdown to some brilliant events in and around Sheffield begins.
May is finally here which means it’s almost time for some cracking events in the sunshine in and near Sheffield.
This year there is no shortage of festivals to attend - whether it’s food and drink, drum and bass, or catching budding filmmakers’ latest pieces of work. There are even two new festivals taking place this year, and others which are celebrating several decades running.
If you’ve not got a holiday booked, and it feels as though there’s no end in sight with work, then taking yourself away to one of these festivals (many of which are free to attend!) should give you something to look forward to.
Here are 12 festivals taking place in and near Sheffield this summer.
For the first time, Sheffield Cathedral is launching South Yorkshire Organ Festival to take place from May 30 to June 2. Many events will be free to attend and family-friendly, and will take place in Sheffield and the surrounding South Yorkshire. Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
This is a little further afield, but Northern Aldborough Festival is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. It is dubbed as Yorkshire's leading classical music festival. This year’s festival takes place June 13-22 with the majority of acts performing in the historic St Andrew’s Church in Aldborough. Photo: Northern Aldborough Festival
