The remastered film on the big screen, a live band and singers performing every Hungry Eye and Time of My Life in perfect sync, then a post-film party. Nobody puts Sheffield in a corner.
Official event details for Dirty Dancing in Concert →Half-term takeover at the old West Bar police-and-fire station, with hands-on activities exploring how robots help the 999 services — design your own recycled rescue robot, try the robot-driving challenge and meet a real bomb-disposal robot.
Official event details for Rescue Robots at National Emergency Services Museum →Mick Fleetwood-endorsed tribute show widely regarded as the closest you can get to the real thing, working through Rumours, Tango in the Night and the deeper cuts. A reliably warm Oval Hall singalong.
Official event details for Rumours of Fleetwood Mac →One of the country's grandest stately homes, 20 minutes from Sheffield, throws open its 87-acre gardens for half-term with a new Little Collectors' Trail, daily crafts in the Activity Trailer and the Forest of Bewilderment natural play area. The newly restored Camellia House café makes a good lunch stop.
Official event details for May Half Term at Wentworth Woodhouse →Cuban-born cellist, singer and composer touring her acclaimed Latin-jazz project, blending Havana son, samba, tango and bossa nova into something genuinely transporting. The Foundry's intimate setup is ideal for it.

Official event details for Ana Carla Maza →Award-winning Canadian country-folk trio bring tight three-part harmonies and an easy live charm to the Greystones' famously close-up back room. A nice antidote to the bigger-room shows running across the same week.
Official event details for The Washboard Union →Drop-in engineering session at Kelham Island Museum where kids work out what keeps a boat afloat — and what sinks it — using the museum's collection as inspiration. A solid half-term hour built around hands-on tinkering.
Official event details for Floating Boats →Sheffield synth-pop legends Martyn Ware and Glenn Gregory mark 45 years of Penthouse and Pavement with a second show added inside the natural amphitheatre of Peak Cavern in Castleton. Friday sold out fast; only final tickets remain for Saturday.
