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
A former clothes shop turned bar, club, and cosy hangout in Sheffield’s Castlegate area. Club nights at Bal Fashions often last long into the next morning and have featured some of the best purveyors of underground dance music from across the world.
"Forged in fire, set in steel." An all-dayer dedicated to rock and metal. Formerly Rockin the Bowl, this festival is back for 2026 under the new name: Destination.
A surreal combination of folk bands, music lovers, alcohol and regular commuters on a packed and ageing Northern Rail carriage, with a Peak District pub as the destination.
A multi-purpose creative space for Sheffield’s underground community, run by social enterprise RiteTrax. Events span genres, often going to the extremes of music. Their recent crowdfunder raised £6,000 to make improvements – so watch this space!
