Classical Weekend returns in 2027.
The biennial festival is one big celebration of classical music – in all manner of forms, from near and far.
It brings chamber musicians, choirs and orchestras to some of the city's finest music halls, and beyond into public spaces and more intimate and unusual venues.
TRACKS
An iconic music venue. Since it’s early days as a punk hangout, the Leadmill has been a staple of South Yorkshire gig-goers’ diets since 1980. Sadly no longer in its original home – the team are now putting on gigs in venues across the city.
With its high vaulted ceiling, large leaded windows and oak panelling, this Edwardian hall lends itself perfectly to the classical setting. Its concerts range from talented student orchestras to more experimental contemporary compositions.
Our idea of neighbourhood cafe perfection: excellent coffee, a wood-lined interior, lots of plants, chess, crosswords, ace music, warm cinnamon rolls, and friendly faces.
"Forged in fire, set in steel." An all-dayer dedicated to rock and metal. Formerly Rockin the Bowl, this festival is back for 2026 under the new name: Destination.
