Sheffield’s flagship outdoor culture weekend returns for its 20th edition with adventure films, talks and free events across the Showroom. It is one of the city’s biggest annual draws and this year’s programme looks especially strong.
Official event details for ShAFF: Sheffield Adventure Film Festival 2026 →A new multi-venue festival takes over Kelham Island with live jazz, soul, Afrobeat and DJs across some of the area’s best-loved spaces. It feels like one of the freshest one-day additions to Sheffield’s cultural calendar this spring.
Official event details for Kelham Jazz Festival 2026 →Showroom hosts a hometown special preview for Bring Me The Horizon’s new concert film ahead of wider release. For a Sheffield band of this scale, a local first screening feels like a genuine city event rather than just another cinema listing.
Official event details for Bring Me The Horizon: L.I.V.E. in São Paulo — Special Preview →This official stage show celebrates the music and legacy of The Dubliners at Sheffield City Hall. It is a solid midweek pick for folk fans and anyone after a big-singalong theatre-style concert.
Official event details for The Dubliners Encore - Official Stage Show →10cc bring a catalogue of era-defining art-pop and rock to the Oval Hall. It is the kind of City Hall booking that will pull a broad crowd, from long-time fans to anyone who wants a reliable hit-packed night out.
Official event details for 10cc and Another Bloody Greatest Hits Tour →Scouting for Girls arrive with an anniversary tour built around Everybody Wants To Be On TV plus the bigger singalong favourites. It should be one of the livelier mainstream pop bookings in Sheffield this week.
Official event details for Scouting for Girls →Ross Noble brings his trademark improvisational chaos to Sheffield City Hall on Friday night. If you want a big-room comedy pick rather than a club set, this is the strongest option of the week.
Official event details for Ross Noble →Sheffield Theatres’ run of The Ladies Football Club continues through the week with bookable performances still available. Rooted in women’s football history and staged in the Crucible, it feels especially well matched to Sheffield right now.
Other available dates in the week
Official event details for The Ladies Football Club →Steelers versus Panthers is one of British ice hockey’s great rivalries, and it should deliver a louder, faster Saturday night than many standard arena listings. Even for casual fans, it is a strong live-sport option.
Official event details for Sheffield Steelers v Panthers →Lucy & Yak opens its new Sheffield store in the Heart of the City this Saturday. It is more of a city-culture pick than a conventional event, but the launch has enough local buzz and broad appeal to merit a spot on the shortlist.
Official event details for Lucy & Yak Sheffield - Opening Day →Chatsworth’s new 2026 exhibition opens this weekend, making it one of the best nearby destination picks of the week. If you want a polished day trip rather than a night out, this is the strongest cultural option just outside Sheffield.
Official event details for House of Stories: Tales from the Chatsworth Library →Brick Festival rolls into Ponds Forge with large-scale LEGO displays, activities, competitions and traders. It is an easy family-friendly pick for Sunday and one of the clearest all-ages events on the calendar this week.
