Sheffield’s big adventure Bank Holiday Cliffhanger and Sheffield Fayre return to the city this August Bank Holiday weekend transforming Sheffield in to one big playground with three days of free fun activities and entertainment for all the family. Sheffield’s festival dedicated to celebrating the great outdoors – Cliffhanger - is back in the city centre on Saturday 27 & Sunday 28 August, with the exciting British Bouldering Championships once again taking centre stage. The nation’s best climbers will battle it out on the wall for the top spot, while spectators watch in awe.

Then on Monday 29 August, the popular Sheffield Fayre will transform Norfolk Heritage Park into a spectacular fairground of fun and transport us back in time celebrating the heritage of the park and displaying a range of vintage and historical stalls and activities. It is also the final weekend of Sheffield By The Seaside – the inner-city beach that transforms the Peace Gardens into our very own seaside, complete with Helter Skelter, seaside rides, live entertainment, character visitors, sandy areas for digging and sandcastle building plus a splash in the fountains.

Councillor Martin Smith, Chair of the Economic Development and Skills Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “Sheffield has certainly put on a great show so far this summer and the coming bank holiday is another fantastic opportunity for local people and families to get out and enjoy the brilliant free activities and entertainment we’re putting on. “There are not many cities where on the same weekend you can watch live national championship sport for free, have a go at axe hurling, make sandcastles and whizz down a Helter Skelter all

in the city centre; and then get up close to vintage emergency services vehicles, watch owls and birds of prey in flight and see live circus acts while picnicking in a beautiful park. “Sheffield is a massive adventure playground and whether you’re a fan of sport, the outdoors, arts and craft, the seaside, or rides and shows there’s a lot of fun to be had this bank holiday.” Cliffhanger Festival Devonshire Green and Barker’s Pool - Saturday 27 & Sunday 28 August Cliffhanger is free to attend and is not ticketed. There will be charges for some of the

rides and activities taking place across the city centre as part of Sheffield By the Seaside.

Sheffield Fayre Norfolk Heritage Park – Monday 29 August, 10.30am5pm This free entry, major event is in its 19th successful year and is a fantastic day out for all of the family in one of Sheffield’s most wonderful parks.
