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.

An artist and instrument builder from the experimental fringes of electronic music. See him live at this year's AlgoMech festival.

Sheffield City Hall

One of Sheffield's grandest buildings, this neoclassical treat contains three music halls: the glorious Oval Hall, the wood-panelled Memorial Hall and an enormous art deco ballroom complete with light-up dance floor.

Cafe #9

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.
