Keep an eye on the website for details of the Sheffield Folk Sessions Festival 2026 programme.
The likes of Nirvana, Oasis, Cypress Hill, Bloc Party, Goldfrapp and Arctic Monkeys have all performed at this iconic music venue. If these eight walls could talk... Today, it hosts University of Sheffield Concerts, gigs, comedy and more.
No musician has as deep a connection to Sheffield as Richard Hawley. Here he talks about the "grim up north" myth and how Sheffield inspires his music.
An undisturbed little spot to take in the evening over a few scoops of Tetley's and a Traditional Irish music session. Down the side of the pub is a suitably nostalgic mural by artist Pete McKee.
Home to the official Tramlines Fringe, the Devonshire Green stage showcases an array of local talent over the festival weekend, all for free. On top of that, expect official and unofficial fringe events to pop up in bars and venues all over the city.
