Owls in the Yard is back for 2026.
The plan is simple: good people, good music, plenty of football chat and a proper day out with fellow Wednesdayites.
We're delighted to have talented singer-songwriter Lexi Whiteside opening the day before Chesterfield favourites The Blank Expressions see us home with a set packed full of indie, rock and pop classics.
The ever-popular Panini Swap Shop will be back for young (and not-so-young) collectors, while Tom Burton (Calling Mr Meadows) returns with more of his brilliant Sheffield Wednesday artwork and stories. We'll also have another appearance from the hugely popular Yard Ball, alongside family games and activities from the Sheffield Wednesday Community Programme, who will also be bringing along everyone's favourite mascot, Ollie Owl.
With games for the kids, live entertainment throughout the day, food, drinks, DJs, special guests, Q&As and plenty more still to be announced, there's something for the whole family to enjoy.
Most importantly, this is all about Wednesday fans getting together ahead of the new season. No drama. No nonsense. Just a brilliant atmosphere and a proper pre-season party.
Organised by The Wednesday Week podcast.
