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
Tucked away upstairs in the craft workshops of Orchard Square, Bear Tree Records was set up by Joe Blanchard – a familiar face to many who have flicked through various Sheffield vinyl racks over the years.
Enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of your seat. Our highlights for ShAFF 2026 include films on an Afghan ski community and a pioneering rock climbing couple. Plus a kit-repurposing workshop, breathwork, abseiling and a city-centre sauna.
One of Sheffield's grandest buildings, this neoclassical treat contains three music halls: the glorious Oval Hall, the wood-panelled Memorial Hall and an enormous art deco ballroom complete with light-up dance floor.
Browse the wares of around 50 ceramic artists, potters and sculptors from South Yorkshire and beyond.
