St Patrick’s Day has been a global celebration for many years now, and Sheffield has certainly got in on the action.
Events held in the city on March 17 have ranged from cultural celebrations centred on Sheffield’s Irish community to fun drinking sessions and parties organised to join in with the (Guinness-based) fun.
Here are some pictures to show how Sheffield has marked Ireland’s national day over the past couple of decades.

Irish eyes were smiling on Sheffield charity Cavendish Cancer Care when a donation of nearly £700 was raised by guests at a St Patrick's Day business lunch, organised by insolvency and business turnaround specialist Wilson Field. Former snooker world champion Dennis Taylor was guest of honour at the The Bit of a Do event which took place at Baldwin's Omega in March 2014 and was attended by around 100 clients and partners of Wilson Field.
