Events in Sheffield From 11th May – 17th May 2026

Home · Events in Sheffield This Week

You can find live music in Sheffield this week, from established acts to rising artists. Check out comedy nights, food and drink events, or creative sessions like painting and foraging. Some venues offer relaxed afternoons, while others stay open late for high-energy nights. Whether you're meeting friends or planning a family outing, options vary across the city. Use the Supertram or bus services for easy access, with Sheffield Station and Meadowhall Interchange as key hubs. You’ll find music gigs at venues like The Harlequin and Corporation, and comedy at places such as Sheffield City Hall and The Bessemer. For outdoors, green spaces like Devonshire Green are available, though travel may be needed to reach locations further out. Remember that parking near Millennium Square can be limited. The city’s industrial roots still shape its culture, and this shows in the events on offer. Be mindful of congestion in the city centre, especially at junctions like Meadowhall. Plan your route in advance, and consider rail services such as East Midlands Railway to reach your destination.
