Classical Weekend returns in 2027.
The biennial festival is one big celebration of classical music – in all manner of forms, from near and far.
It brings chamber musicians, choirs and orchestras to some of the city's finest music halls, and beyond into public spaces and more intimate and unusual venues.
TRACKS
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.
Ten days to explore heritage treasures across the city.
A hang-out built around good beer, great music and community spirit. Hosting the weekly Kelham Island Film Club, a regular open jazz night, an eclectic mix of gigs and the occasional art exhibition.
One big, free day of music and movement in four outdoor stages around the city centre. With over 30 dance groups performing and lots of chances to join in. Held each July – come back soon for details of Chance to Dance 2026.
