The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

This summer join Slapstick Picnic for a theatrical treat like no other as they whip up a three-person version of JM Barrie’s classic play Peter Pan.

Let your imagination soar with this timeless tale of hapless pirates, feral children and a particularly punctual reptile. This show isn’t just for kids – its brilliant buffoonery will have picnickers of all ages cackling into their coleslaw.

This show will take place outdoors in Hillsborough Park and Heeley People's Park. Bring your own chair or blanket to sit on and a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather.

Recommended for ages 8+.

17 August – Hillsborough Park
19 August – Heeley People’s Park
