Festive sounds will ring out across Sheffield this December. Expect classic carols, choral repertoires, and a jolly set from the city’s premiere comedy-ukulele quintet.

Sheffield Round Walk

The Sheffield Round Walk is a 15-mile loop from the urban to the rural at the southwestern edges of the city – taking in leafy parkland, woodland streams, and pretty suburbs.

Kopi & Chai

Kopi & Chai are a friendly and colourful cafe hub in Meersbrook. As well as their stunning interior, they have a gorgeous sun trap corner outside where you can watch the world go by. They serve hot and cold savoury treats for brunch and lunch with freshly baked cakes made in house - and it all tastes so much better surrounded by the plants, the parquet floor, and the beautiful tiling.
