From outdoor water parks on better-weather days to indoor museums for those rainy ones, here is a list of seven of the best things you can do over the summer break in Sheffield.
1. National Videogame Museum
If you fancy something a little bit different, visit the National Videogame Museum to explore how they are made, who makes them, and even why they are made.
