Events deliver £52 million boost to Sheffield Major events brought over 858,000 attendees to Sheffield in 2025, with an economic impact of more than £52.2 million and a total visitor spend exceeding £32 million. The city’s return on investment for council-supported events reached an impressive £32.65 for every £1 invested, underlining Sheffield’s status as a powerhouse for live events and festivals. In the spring, Sheffield once again took centre stage as the host of the iconic World Snooker Championships at the Crucible Theatre, drawing tens of thousands of spectators and generating a multi-million pound boost for the city’s economy. The summer brought a wave of music and celebration from Bassfest to 90’ Fest. Tramlines and
Tramlines Fringe filled Hillsborough Park and the city centre, together attracting well over 100,000 attendees and delivering Sheffield’s single biggest economic impact of the year. It was a big year for Tramlines Festival, which was named Best Urban Music Festival in the UK. Other highlights included the internationally renowned Sheffield DocFest, the ever-popular Sheffield Food Festival, and the spectacular Rock n Roll Circus, each drawing huge crowds and contributing significantly to the city’s thriving visitor economy. As autumn arrived, October’s Out of This World festival transformed the city centre with a celebration of science fiction and fantasy, while the year concluded with a festive flourish as Christmas events and Light
Up Sheffield illuminated the city, creating a magical atmosphere across Sheffield’s most iconic landmarks. “Sheffield’s events programme in 2025 showed our city at its best – welcoming hundreds of thousands of people and generating more than £41 million for our economy. Behind those headline figures are thousands of unforgettable experiences, busy local businesses, and volunteers who make it all happen. As we look ahead, we’re excited to build on this momentum – starting with the European Figure Skating Championships and a packed year of sport, culture and creativity that will continue to bring people together and showcase Sheffield to the world.”
Said Councillor Mohammed Mahroof, Chair of the Economic Development, Skills and Culture Committee at Sheffield City Council Events in numbers: • Over 100,000 people engaged in events • Over 6000 people volunteered their time to support • Over 400,000 people involved with or engaging in arts, music and culture • Hundreds of thousands of pounds raised for local charities Sheffield’s events not only boost the economy but also deliver significant wellbeing and social value, with thousands of volunteers and arts audiences benefiting from participation. Looking forward to 2026

Hot on the heels of this, the Aquatics GB International Diving Cup (30 January – 1 February) will see elite divers from across the country and beyond compete at Sheffield’s renowned facilities – a highlight for sports fans and a chance to spot future Olympic hopefuls.

Skating Championships arrive in Sheffield with support from Tickets for Good
The ISU Figure Skating European Championships 2026 are coming to Sheffield in January, and for one homegrown athlete, it marks a fullcircle moment. Luke Digby, now one of Team GB’s leading competitors, first experienced the Championships in Sheffield as a flower boy during the 2012 edition. Thirteen years later, he returns to the same arena as a history-making athlete, having helped secure Britain’s highest European pairs finish in over three decades. To help ensure the event inspires the next generation, the Sheffield-
based company Tickets for Good has partnered with the organisers to provide access for those who might otherwise be unable to attend. An initial free allocation of tickets was snapped up in days, and a new batch of discounted tickets is available now. The partnership aims to amplify the Championships’ impact in the city and make a world-class event on home ice feel closer to the people who live here. British Ice Skating has already seen rising interest in the sport following major international results, including World Championship bronze
for Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson and a top-five European finish for Digby and his partner Anastasia Vaipan-Law. David Hartley, Event Director, said: “Bringing the ISU Figure Skating European Championships back to Sheffield is a huge moment for our sport, and we want the whole city to feel part of it. Partnering with Tickets for Good helps us open the doors to more people who might not otherwise get the chance to experience a world-class event on their doorstep. Stories like Luke Digby’s — from flower boy in 2012 to representing Team
GB on home ice — show exactly why this week can be so powerful for the next generation.” Bethany Rutt, Head of Business Operations at Tickets for Good, said: “As someone local to the region, it’s really special to see the European Championships come to Sheffield. Luke’s journey from flower boy to elite athlete is a lovely example of what early exposure to live sport can do. We’re proud to be part of making that kind of experience more accessible and we hope this event sparks something in the next generation too.” The ISU European
Figure Skating European Championships 2026 take place at the Utilita Arena Sheffield from 13 to 18 January. With Olympic spots on the line and home crowd support expected to be fierce, it marks a rare chance to see Europe’s elite skaters compete just weeks before the Winter Games. While Tickets for Good is rooted in Sheffield, its reach is growing fast. The platform now works with over a third of all top-tier women’s football clubs in the UK and recently launched in the US, where partners include the NHL’s San Jose Sharks. In the UK, it has partnered with Chelsea FC, Sheffield FC,
Manchester Storm and Nottingham Panthers, with more sports and cultural organisations joining every month. Tickets for Good exists to make the positive impact of live events available to everyone, offering free or discounted access to people in the NHS, education, charity sector and those affected by the cost of living crisis. For more information about the Championships, visit www.europeans2026. com/. Discounted tickets for Tickets for Members are available now, visit https://www. ticketsforgood.org/ to get started.

SPRINGFIELD CARAVANS
Over 3,000 cars seized in 2025 for no insurance During 2025, officers seized 3,855 vehicles from the roads of South Yorkshire for having no insurance, an average of just over 10 per day. Driving without insurance is not a victimless crime. The Police often find those who are willing to drive without insurance are more likely to take further risks on our roads and drive without the correct documents, an unroadworthy car or dangerously and at speed. These drivers have no regard for their own or other road users’ safety and are usually the drivers that we engage in pursuits with, creating further risk to our officers’ safety and the safety of innocent members of the public. As the new year gets underway, SYP wish to remind drivers to get insured or they will seize your vehicle. Insurance is a legal requirement for anyone using their vehicle on the roads, but having valid insurance is more than the law. It is designed to protect victims of road traffic collisions. Financial compensation paid out by insurance
companies allows victims to repair or replace their car or adapt their homes and lives following serious life-altering injuries. Leading the work on Drive Insured, Roads Policing Sergeant Martyn Micklethwaite said: “Law‑abiding drivers end up paying the price for uninsured motorists through higher premiums. It is not a victimless crime — someone, somewhere, always pays for the actions of those who choose to drive without insurance. Seizing vehicles is everyday business for officers across the force because we know that those who fail to insure their vehicle are more likely to take greater risks; this will not be tolerated. “We do meet people who make genuine mistakes and have not understood their policies or the changes to their circumstances, such as points and convictions, and as the new year gets underway, I urge all drivers to review your policy and double check your cover.” Uninsured drivers face a minimum £300 fine and six penalty points. Court appearances and driving bans are also possible.

News, Information and Advice
mayor’s visit marks start of new year grant for the big charity giveaway South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard has started the new year by returning to his old school to mark 2026 as the National Year of Reading and outline his ambition to ensure every child in South Yorkshire has the best possible start in life. Mayor Coppard visited Porter Croft Primary School in Sheffield on Wednesday 7 January, where he read Banana Hunt by local author, Suzy Senior, to Year 1 pupils. Later this year, the Mayor will launch his Every Child a Reader programme to help children and families build a love of reading as part of a £2.55million funding package. During the visit, pupils shared their favourite stories and teachers demonstrated how reading is embedded in everyday classroom life. This visit highlights the Mayor’s broader commitment to putting children and young people at the heart of his plans for the year ahead. The Mayor’s passion for reading stems from his time working for national children’s reading charity BookTrust, where he saw first-hand the difference that books and stories can make to a child’s life. Every Child a Reader will sit alongside a wider package of support for children, young people and families across South Yorkshire that is helping to give every child the best start in life, including: • Beds for Babies: Launched in June 2024 the programme guarantees a safe bed for every child under five. Over 6,700 essential items have been provided with over 3,300 children supported. Pilots have also been launched in Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham to test new ways of working and enhancing the programme. • South Yorkshire Music Hub: South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is working with local music hubs in each area across the region to form the South Yorkshire Music Hub. Led by SYMCA and funded by Arts Council England and the Department for Education, it’s an ambitious programme providing high-quality music education for all children and young people. With SYMCA’s support new equipment and instruments will
continue to arrive throughout 2026, good practice is being shared across the region, and new partners have been brought on board. • Barnsley MiCard: The return of the Barnsley MiCard in August 2025 enabled free bus travel for all under 18s. Over seventeen thousand young people now have a MiCard with over 780,000 journeys made since launch. Over 60% of these journeys are being undertaken by residents of Barnsley’s most deprived areas with the number of bus journeys undertaken by young people up by over 50%. The scheme, which will run for two years, was made possible thanks to a £1million investment from SYMCA and a £5 million investment from Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council. • Mayor’s Walk and Wheel Challenge: After two successful years with over 220 schools taking part across South Yorkshire, the five-day challenge will be returning in 2026 in collaboration with Living Streets. The challenge encourages primary school children to walk, wheel and cycle to school each day. Alongside this, Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield Ride & Scoot is providing children from the most deprived communities with balance and pedal bikes and scooters to encourage hundreds of families to scoot or cycle on the school run. • Active Travel Upgrades: South Yorkshire has been recognised as one of the top-performing regions in the country for walking, wheeling and cycling after being upgraded to a Level 3 status in Active Travel England’s Capability ratings. South Yorkshire continues to collectively build on a strong foundation of projects designed to improve journeys and give people more choice in how they travel including more than 88 kilometres of new routes, over 250 new or better crossings, and helping thousands of adults and children feel confident walking, wheeling, or cycling. • National Centre for Child Health Technology: SYMCA have played a pivotal role in the centre based at Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park by contributing £6million to accelerate delivery, create high-value jobs and position the region
as a global leader in child health innovation. The centre is set to become the world’s most advanced facility for paediatric health innovation, tackling issues like obesity, mental health, and long-term conditions. Backed by £20million in capital investment, the centre will drive cutting-edge research and technology development for children’s health. Oliver Coppard said: “A love of reading changed my life. It opened doors I never thought possible as a kid growing up here in South Yorkshire. That’s why I’m so passionate about making sure every child has that same chance. Books spark imagination, build confidence, and help shape futures. That’s what I saw first-hand working with BookTrust, and it’s why our Every Child a Reader programme matters so much to me, and to South Yorkshire. It’s part of a bigger mission: to give every young person the best possible start in life. Whether that’s a safe place to sleep, the chance to fall in love with music, or the freedom to travel and explore. Together, these initiatives are about giving every child the chance to dream bigger, learn more, and make the most of their talents. Because our young people deserve nothing less.” South Yorkshire’s range of initiatives to support young people reflect a long-term commitment to creating a region where every child can feel supported, inspired and able to reach their potential and form a wider ambition for South Yorkshire to be the best place to grow up, putting the voices, experiences and futures of young people at the centre of regional priorities. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority will be working with local councils and the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector to boost things we already know work, test out new ways of working and help scale good practice and new programmes.
support dogs
Support Dogs is celebrating after receiving a £40,000 grant from the Pets Foundation to help create a state-of-theart dog welfare area at its new Sheffield headquarters. The national charity trains assistance dogs for autistic children, as well as for people with epilepsy or a physical disability, and after nearly 30,000 people accessed the charity’s online application pages in 2024, it became clear the service needed to expand. The grant will fund washing and drying facilities, a mock vet consultation room to desensitise dogs and health checks areas to keep dogs in peak condition. These improvements will ensure every assistance dog receives the best care while preparing to transform lives. Josie Brooks, service impact co-ordinator at Support Dogs, said, “This funding will have a monumental impact. It enables us to invest in quality equipment that will last for decades and give our dogs the best possible care. Fundraising for our core costs is an ongoing pressure, so a grant of this size is something to celebrate.”Sara Main, manager of the Pets Foundation, added, “We’re proud to fund Support Dogs in creating a safe environment for the dogs that transform lives every day. The Pets Foundation believes in creating a better world for pets and the people who love them and the work Support Dogs do helps make a difference every day.” This is not the first time the Pets Foundation has supported the charity. It previously awarded £85,000 to fund the training of autism assistance dog, Mandy, who has helped changed the life of a young girl in Derby. Support Dogs recently moved from Brightside into a new fur-ever home at Elsworth House in Herries Road South, Hillsborough as part of its expansion plans to meet the growing demand.

The Jane Tomlinson Appeal is delighted to announce the launch of a £250K ‘Big Charity Giveaway’- a significant grant programme designed to support charities across the following areas; Yorkshire, the Midlands and the Liverpool City region. The Appeal is set to offer grants up to a maximum of £15,000, providing a significant funding opportunity for an array of good causes. The new grant round continues the powerful legacy of the late inspirational athlete and fundraiser Jane Tomlinson CBE, whose determination and generosity helped transform lives across the UK and beyond. Over the years, the Jane Tomlinson Appeal has already awarded significant amounts to charities and community projects supporting causes including cancer care, bereavement services, mental health support and initiatives that improve the physical and emotional wellbeing of children and young people. This latest giveaway is open to registered charities operating within Yorkshire, the Midlands and the Liverpool City Region, with successful applicants set to receive funding that could make a real difference to the communities they serve. Mike Tomlinson, Jane’s husband and Trustee of The Jane Tomlinson appeal comments, “Jane was passionate about helping others
and with the 2026 Big Charity Giveaway, we can continue that legacy and give charities across our regions the opportunity to grow, reach more people and change more lives. We’d like to hear from as many charities and organisations as possible. There is no minimum award, and they can bid for a maximum of £15,000 to support a project of their choice. They just need to tell us how they will spend it and what benefits it will bring. We would especially like to hear from charities that work with children or cancer patients and their families. They are causes that were obviously close to Jane’s heart, as they are to ours.” From 8th January 2026, charities are invited to apply for the grants to help sustain, develop or expand their work. Applications will close on 5th February, after which all submissions will be carefully reviewed, and those successful will be notified shortly afterwards. Grants will then be formally awarded during the week commencing 2nd March. The Jane Tomlinson Appeal looks forward to announcing the successful grant recipients in March and celebrating the positive impact these funds will have.

yorks water leak advice
With snow and ice on the ground and further snowstorms predicted for the coming days, Yorkshire Water is urging customers to act now to protect their homes and properties as the cold snap of wintery weather takes hold. The utility is also urging customers to report any leaks spotted in public areas via the Yorkshire Water website. Insulating exposed pipes especially in unheated areas like attics, basements, garages, and external walls, is one of the most effective ways to prevent them from freezing. Lagging pipes with insulation helps to maintain warmth and reduces the risk of cracks and bursts when temperatures drop, often leading to costly repairs and water supply disruptions. The cold snap will also increase ground movement, which can lead to an increase in leaks from Yorkshire Water’s network of underground water mains. Customers who spot leaks can report them via the Yorkshire
Water website. Joe Hands, head of water distribution at Yorkshire Water said: “Cold weather can lead to an increase in leaks and bursts, both private properties and on our underground network that transports water across the region. It is important people check pipes, taps, cisterns, tanks, and water meters in unheated areas that might be exposed to the cold. There’s lots of tips on our website that customers can follow on how to get their homes winter ready and protect them from unexpected bursts. Reporting any leaks on pavements and roads ensures we can visit and inspect the area quickly and fix any problems as soon as possible. This can be done by visiting the report a leak section of our website.” For more information on things that can be done to help prevent any issues with leaks and burst pipes in the home, and other helpful winter ready tips, visit the Yorkshire Water website.

free ice-skating rink arrives in SHEFFIELD city centre Sheffield City Centre is set to come alive this week as work begins today to install a vibrant Fan Zone – complete with a free-to-use artificial ice rink – in celebration of the upcoming ISU Figure Skating European Championships Sheffield 2026. With the Championships now on, excitement is spreading
across the city. From January 13 to 18, Sheffield will host Europe’s premier skating event at the Utilita Arena, marking the UK’s first time in over a decade to welcome this prestigious competition. As world-class athletes and fans prepare to arrive, the city is rolling out the red carpet for everyone to join in
the festivities. While the Championships unfold at the Arena, the heart of the action will be felt in the city centre. Residents, visitors, and skating enthusiasts can look forward to soaking up the atmosphere at The European Championships Fan Zone, which is now being set up at the Sheffield Peace Gardens. The Fan Zone, hosted by Sheffield City Council and British Ice Skating with support from Sheffield BID and UK Sport, will feature a free-to-use ice-skating rink, a big screen showing live competition coverage and highlights, and a range of entertainment and food stalls. “We’re delighted to welcome the ISU Figure Skating European Championships to Sheffield, and to bring the excitement right into
the city centre for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’ve got tickets for the Arena or not, the Fan Zone gives people of all ages a chance to be part of the event and feel the excitement. It also helps create a lasting legacy of participation, pride and wellbeing across our communities. Hosting the European Championships is a proud moment for Sheffield – and we’re determined that the whole city can take part.” - Councillor Mohammed Mahroof, Chair of the Economic Development, Skills and Culture Committee at Sheffield City Council “Bringing the European Championships to Sheffield is a huge moment for our sport, and we want Sheffield 2026 to be a celebration the whole city can
share in. The city centre Fan Zone—and the free rink at the Peace Gardens—are about making that excitement accessible to everyone, giving families, newcomers and skating fans the chance to get involved, feel part of the Championships, and create lasting memories, whether they have tickets for the Arena or not. It’s also a brilliant way to introduce more people to skating, connect communities with elite sport, and build a positive legacy beyond competition week. We’re incredibly grateful for the support of Sheffield City Council, UK Sport and Sheffield BID in helping make this possible.” - David Hartley, Event Director at ISU Figure Skating European Championships 2026
Fan Zone highlights • Outdoor Ice Rink – Free public skating sessions with skate hire included, plus themed sessions every day. • Big Screen – Watch all the action from the Championships live, plus highlights and entertainment. • Food Stalls – Hot drinks, familyfriendly street food, and local vendors. • Entertainment – Fun activities for all ages. • Free School Skating Sessions – Giving local pupils a chance to experience the rink. The rink will open on Saturday morning ahead of Championships week and run until Sunday evening after the final events. Weekend opening: 10am to 8pm Weekday opening: 2pm to 8pm

Coronation Street: Betsy heads to see Becky in prison and confronts her about the way she’s behaved. Ryan finally gets his chance to show Debbie the hotel accounts, which indicate that Carl has been stealing money from her for months. On the morning of the court hearing, cruel Carl pays his own visit to Debbie and selfishly urges her to plead guilty. What will Debbie ultimately decide when she arrives in court? David is alarmed when he finds Jodie suffering a panic attack in the hospital car park. Jodie explains that she has nowhere to stay. Todd and Summer continue to prepare for Billy’s funeral. Summer breaks down in tears when she and Todd see Billy’s body being delivered to the undertakers. Eva encourages Leanne to sell her share of Speed Daal – with an ulterior motive. Eva reckons that Leanne should then use the money to buy Maggie out of The Rovers.
Emmerdale: Moira is horrified as she comes under suspicion over her links to Celia, with the police now believing that she was involved in the human trafficking operation. Jai, Caleb and Billy are all horrified when the police find Ray’s body hidden in one of the vans. Laurel crosses paths with Marlon and gives him a hard time for not warning her about Ray from the start. After another round of questioning by the police Jai faces intense scrutiny from friends and neighbours at The Woolpack. Ross, Rhona, Marlon, Bob, April, Laurel, Arthur, Dylan and Paddy – all suspects in the Ray case - meet up after dark. Each one of them seems to be keeping secrets, but did any of them kill Ray? Eastenders: Ravi admits everything to Priya, who is deeply troubled by his words. Patrick is riddled with guilt. Feeling sympathetic, Yolande advises her husband to invite Jasmine over to make amends. Having sold The Vic last year, George announces to Nicola that he intends to purchase a new local business: Walford East! Will George’s plans pay off? As the Branning and Beale family look ahead to Abi’s memorial, Lauren informs Max that he’s not welcome to attend. Penny and Vinny meet up for a date at Container Junction – but will sparks fly?

Wilder left incredibly Playing with hunger and heart disappointed BY CUP EXIT Chris Wilder revealed he was ‘incredibly disappointed’ following United’s exit from the FA Cup at the first hurdle, following Sunday’s loss to Mansfield Town. Nigel Clough’s Stags sprung a surprise at S2, but the Blades boss was typically frank in his assessment and acknowledged his side got what they deserved for a largely lacklustre showing. The boss remarked: “I’m incredibly disappointed, the players are probably bored of me going after them, but that was an opportunity. Last year against Cardiff City we had to play a certain team, I picked this team to win a game of football and the changes we made, we had to make. “I wasn’t resting anyone, that team should have been good enough to win the tie and it is just an excuse if people look at differently. It was a strong team, and I felt sorry for
Adam Davies because the goals we conceded are ridiculous, the manner of them are terrible and their centre forward has dominated our central defenders all afternoon. “The comeback was the comeback, I’m not going to credit that and as I’ve always said the players know the process of playing the game, they know how we play in and out of possession and as the game wore players didn’t play to where they should be playing and it
becomes unbelievably difficult. “Nigel has brought his team here and done what he did whilst he was here to us this time. I wanted to go deep into the competition, but we find ourselves out of the competition instead. Individually, players have to look after themselves and their performances. I want to have to make tough decisions and some performances cemented my medium term view is.”
Henrik Pedersen says his young squad will learn plenty from their Emirates FA Cup encounter with Brentford on Saturday. The Premier League Bees were good value for their cup victory at Hillsborough, which saw Wednesday name a very youthful matchday squad once again. With injuries taking their toll and players playing right to the limit, Pedersen was forced into making changes with welfare a priority.

about surviving. We had to defend well and when we were on the ball we didn’t have the same energy as we had in the first half. “They were strong how they sped up the game, how they had more deep runs against our backline and it was tough for us. “I think the backline was very, very young today but how they did it was amazing. “Big respect for the performance the players delivered today. It’s maybe the most difficult
phase in the history of the club. But with this hunger, I spoke about the heart and the high chest before the game and that is how we wanted to go
to this game. They are growing and this is good for the future because a lot of those young players have to be a part of the future for our club.”
McCann says players must carry spirit and intent of cup fightback forward into league
Grant McCann declared Rovers’ second half performance in the FA Cup clash with Southampton as the perfect example of what they are capable off when they shake off their mental shackles. And as he seeks to power his side up the League One table, he has urged
Blades make first January move United have moved quickly in the January transfer window to add further depth and competition to the squad. Ki-Jana Hoever, of Wolves, has penned a loan deal until the end of the season and Chris Wilder is delighted to add a player with both topflight and second tier experience to the ranks for the remainder of the campaign. The boss remarked: “It is no secret that we need to strengthen on the right side, and during discussions about personnel in that area going forward, Ki’s name was always one which featured prominently as he possesses quality. The loan market tends to be one which intensifies later in the window, so to have this deal completed is a huge boost for us. “Ki is still a young man, but he’s experienced plenty in his early career. To have been at some of the clubs he has represented just shows how highly rated he is. What I like about him though is the desire to go and play. He now knows what it takes to be successful at this level, and by his own admission, he’s really matured, on and off the pitch. He’s ready to take the next opportunity in his career and we’re delighted to have added him to our squad, not least for balance.”
But the manager was pleased with how his young charges went about their work and explained: “I think we played a strong, strong game and especially in the first half. With the energy we had, I think we competed on a really, really good level. “We were well organised and brave on the ball against a top team. “The boys were tested in every single action, it was a high, high level for them but in the second half I think it was more

the group to harness the positivity and attacking aggression from the performance over the coming months. Rovers found themselves 3-0 down at the break following a disappointing first half but roared back into the tie, netting twice through Matty Pearson and Jordan Gibson and pushing Championship opposition to the very end. “That second half gives me a real sense of drive that if we can continue that sort of performance, then we’ll be good,” McCann said. “It’s a constant battle I’m having with myself, the staff and the players and it’s a mental barrier they
need to break through. “That was the whole conversation after the game - they they need to get out of the mental safe mode we’re in at the moment. It’s not everyone, but there’s a big number in the group that had it. “When they play with that edge, that no fear, that intensity you saw in the second half, we can compete with anybody. “When you play safe, you’re waiting for mistakes to happen and waiting to concede. We have to keep drumming that into the players staying on the front foot and not worrying about the ifs, the buts and the maybes.
“I can live with players trying stuff and it not coming off but I can’t live with the lack of intensity we showed in the first half, which was evident in the goals we conceded.
“We’re looking really threatening at the top end of the pitch and I felt every time we went forward in the second half, something was going to happen.”
