The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

No Bounds

Fri. 10 October 2025 — Sun. 12 October 2025

Sheffield’s place in the history and development of electronic music is already well established – from the early experiments of Cabaret Voltaire and the Human League’s creation of synth-pop, through Warp and Forgemasters bastardising techno into a whole new world, before Niche kickstarted heavy 00s party vibes.

No Bounds builds on this lineage and culture to bring a weekend of bleeps, beats and sweaty grins to this industrial city we call home.

Since starting out in 2017, the festival has been refreshingly multidisciplinary in its approach, bringing together forward-thinking music, visual art, poetry, panel discussions and workshops.

Lineup and details for No Bounds Festival 2025 TBC.

Richard Dawson

Sun. 15 June 2025

Crookes Social Club

A master storyteller and musician. Dawson's songs provide snapshots of ordinary lives across Britain today through his medieval-tinged folk in a way that can at one moment be surreal and humorous, and in the next evoke pathos and heartbreak.

Cupola Gallery

Not far from Sheffield Wednesday's football ground, Cupola has been brightening up this corner of the city since 1991, with exhibitions, shelves lined with ceramics, paintings and jewellery, and a smashing sculpture garden.

Bal Fashions

A former clothes shop turned bar, club, and cosy hangout in Sheffield’s Castlegate area. Club nights at Bal Fashions often last long into the next morning and have featured some of the best purveyors of underground dance music from across the world.

S1 Artspace

An artist-led gallery on the Park Hill estate, responsible for one of Sheffield's most exciting contemporary art programmes. It houses a community of artists in its studios and opens to the public during exhibitions and events.
