In the centre of the park is a bandstand – designed in 1874, it is Sheffield’s last remaining bandstand. The Weston Park Museum can also be found here and holds collections on Sheffield’s history from the bronze age to the present day.

The 140 year-old weather station in the park is operated by Weston Park Museum and has recorded the weather conditions every day since it was established.
