A Sheffield festival modelled on Californian wine fairs has enjoyed its biggest year so far

The sun was shining down on Sheffield’s Bole Hills yesterday, as crowds flocked to the beauty spot for an outdoor wine festival.

The festival was the headline event of Sheffield wine week, which is now in its third year and has run from June 24 through to today (Sunday, June 28, 2026).

With capacity for around 2,000 punters, organisers have said this year’s festival is the biggest yet, doubling in size to feature more than 20 wine vendors.

Those in attendance enjoyed pay-as-you-go wine, food trucks, live music and family-friendly activities overlooking one of Sheffield’s best-known green spaces.

Families also had access to live music, crafting activities, face-painting, bubbles and a bouncy castle.

Speaking ahead of the event, co-founder Mike Pomranz said: “For three years now, this event has been growing: getting over a thousand people to come together to drink wine in Crookes– it’s just the beginning.

“We really do see Sheffield as a British hub for wine outside of London.”

Wine tents at the festival included Vintners on the Brook, Alliance Wine, Ally Wines, Passione Vino, Tenaya Wine, Thorne Wines and Wanderlust,and more.
