Leah's Yard Christmas Lights Switch On

Coinciding with the start of Sheffield Christmas Markets, the evening promises to be a festive showcase of local talent, food, and produce.

Visitors can enjoy late-night shopping until 8pm, ticking off Christmas gifts from Leah’s Yard’s eclectic mix of independent makers and retailers - from handcrafted wreaths at Roots & Bloom, to pre-loved designer fashion at Clothes the Loop, and limited edition and original artwork from Pete Mckee.

To keep spirits high, Barks will be serving warming mulled wine, Hop Hideout will offer spiced mulled cider, and a Bavarian Grill will add flavour with authentic German sausages.

BBC Radio Sheffield’s Paulette Edwards will host the evening, keeping the crowd entertained as the courtyard lights up for Christmas.

In keeping with the giving spirit of the season, the evening will raise vital funds for Sheffield Hospitals Charity, in a campaign to support mums and babies cared for at the Jessop Maternity Wing. The charity enhances hospital care across Sheffield, funding vital services such as family accommodation for parents of babies in neonatal intensive care, emotional support from family care nurses, and special memory-making activities for families.
