Summer is here and it is the perfect time to get out of the house and enjoy the many attractions Sheffield has to offer.
Amid the most recent heatwave, it is the perfect time to get out of the house and enjoy the many attractions Sheffield has to offer.
If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, we have found five events taking place in Sheffield that offer a little something for everyone.
Pride of Yorkshire
The Pride of Yorkshire trail features 150 life-sized lion and lioness sculptures, alongside 150 smaller cubs, appearing across Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster.
The best part is that it’s all in aid of a great cause with the free public arts exhibition, rolled out to celebrate 150 years of Sheffield Children’s Hospital. It follows the success of the city’s hugely popular Herd of Sheffield and Bears of Sheffield trails, which raised more than £1.5 million for the charity.
You will no doubt have seen some of these fantastic sculptures dotted around the place, but I’d bet that you haven’t seen them all.

Migration Matters Festival 2026
Migration Matters Festival is a nine day annual celebration of sanctuary, cultural identity and migration in Sheffield, taking place from 19 – 27 June.
It is the largest Refugee Week festival in the UK, bringing together a vibrant programme of events that platform underrepresented communities, particularly people with lived experience of displacement, seeking asylum and forced migration.
For the first time in its 11 year history the city-wide festival from June 19-27 will have a theme, called Forged By Migration. This recognises how different communities have shaped Sheffield and contributed to its diverse international population.
