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

Sheffield Beer Week will return 9–16 March 2026 – marking seven packed days of beery fun.

Jules Gray of Hop Hideout is at the helm. Each year Jules encourages pubs, booze shops and breweries across the city to do something special for Sheffield Beer Week, to really show off the very best of the Sheffield beer scene.

Throughout the week, expect beer collaborations pouring around the city, tap takeovers from local to global independent breweries, meet-the-brewer sessions, brewery tours, walking tours, beer and food pairings, and more.

Sheffield Beer Week 2026 programme highlights:
  • An homage to Sheffield's legendary electronic music heritage, with a bunch of breweries signed up to create brews under the banner of Sheffield Synth City
  • A beer tankard making workshop in Leah's Yard with ceramic studio Earth Paper Fibre
  • A map from South Yorkshire artist Lewis Ryan
  • Abbeydale Brewery's 30th birthday celebrations
  • An International Women's Collaboration Brew Day
  • Beer and history walks with local historian Dave Pickersgill, editor of CAMRA's Sheffield's Real Heritage Pubs
  • Strange Britain's Adrian Finney's popular haunted pub walking tour
  • Beer broadcaster Pete Brown in conversation with music and culture writer Daniel Dylan Wray

And you can warm up with Indie Beer Feast from the same organisers the weekend before Beer Week, on 6–7 March 2026.
