Black History Month in Sheffield 

Be empowered, educated and entertained! Each October, Sheffield joins a national celebration to highlight Black history, culture and heritage, and empower people to stand in unity and take action against racism. 

From incredible exhibitions, fascinating talks and thought-provoking film screenings; to music performances that will get your blood pumping and feet tapping - there is something for everyone in the city of Sheffield.

The theme for Black History Month 2025 is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride”; and is a proud recognition of the many achievements of inspirational individuals (and resilient communities) that have contributed so much and are an integral part of the nation's heritage.

Events listed on this page reflect this theme and have been collated by the African Heritage Culture Forum, who work with organisations across Sheffield to help raise awareness of the city’s diverse history and culture.
