A month-long celebration of The Outdoor City

Every March, as Sheffield enjoys the days getting longer, drier, and warmer, we celebrate what it is to be The Outdoor City, by hosting the Festival of the Outdoors.

You'll find everything from large scale international sporting events to small community gatherings; from guided walks to some of the worlds hardest bouldering problems; from outdoor markets to film festivals.

Scroll down to see everything that's going on! And don't forget to follow us on @VisitSheffield and @TheOutdoorCity on socials, tagging #FestivaloftheOutdoors whenever you share.

The Headliners!

Here are a few of the feature events as part of the Festival, but if you want to see all of them for the whole month in date order, either keep scrolling or just click here.
