SHEFFIELD SET FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF EXCITING EVENTS 2020 looks set to be one of the most exciting years ever in Sheffield. The council’s major events team and city partners have pulled together a hugely diverse events programme that caters for all ages, interests, cultures and abilities, providing plenty of opportunities for all to try something new and get involved in the things they love. Last year the city’s event programme generated millions of pounds being spent in the city, often with local businesses,
at local venues and on local civic services, contributing at least £19.4million to the local economy. As well as money spent in the city, events have helped create and/or support the equivalent of more than 300 jobs, and more than 5,700 people volunteered across a range of events in Sheffield. Events such as ParkRun, the Half Marathon, Let’s Ride and Cliffhanger resulted in more than 112,000 people taking part in physical activity,
many of whom have gone on to lead more active lifestyles. Sheffielders take to the streets to cycle along a traffic-free circuit Across a number of events, (including Let’s Ride, The Fringe at Tramlines, Christmas Lights Switch On, Invictus UK Trials, Sheffield 10K Road Race) hundreds of people were surveyed with over 84% saying they enjoyed or were satisfied with the events. As well as being seen by those attending,
Sheffield’s events are watched by the eyes of the world, putting the city on the map nationally and internationally. The Mi Amigo fly-past was broadcast live on BBC Breakfast reaching three million UK viewers and millions more as far as Pakistan, Australia and the USA. Sporting events including The World Snooker Championship, British Figure Skating Championships, Invictus UK Trails, British Bouldering Championships, and various national
swimming competitions have all had action and highlights featured on the BBC Live and red button racking up millions of viewers, and trending across social media. Sheffield City Council works with a range of partners to deliver they city’s event programme including Sheffield BID, SIV, Sheffield Theatres, Sheffield Hallam University, The University of Sheffield, Run for All, British Cycling, Tramlines and many others.

MICHAEL’S STORY This is my third attempt at Stopping Smoking after 36 years of cigarettes !
I was only passing the Quit Stop whilst out shopping and popped in for a chat. Now 15 weeks later I am still not smoking and feeling better for it. I can now get to sleep without hearing my chest and don’t struggle to breath when walking like I used too. The staff were great and gave me some good ideas and I found them very knowledgeable. I have now got the tools I need to carry and and am so glad I popped in that day !
