Sheftival is the city’s biggest ever festival of sport and culture, timed to celebrate our own Jess Ennis's Olympic final. It takes place on 4-5th August at Don Valley Bowl, Sheffield, where we expect to welcome 50,000 people from all over South Yorkshire to join in the celebrations.

 

It is hosted by Sheffield International Venues who operate many of the sports and entertainment venues in Sheffield – it’s likely you’ve visited some of them already! They have a great reputation managing events, and they encourage community participation and sport development so you’ll be in good hands.

 

At Sheftival venues managed by Sheffield International Venues will host a variety of free community sporting events and Sheftival Live, a free Olympic viewing area in Don Valley Stadium and the English Institute Of Sport Sheffield, starting one day earlier on Friday 3rd August. Everything from rugby league and judo, to aerial extreme and zumba, to boxing and futsal will be taking place for all to get involved in.

 

We have priced our festival to make everyone welcome and our event programme is as lively, colourful and diverse as Sheffield itself. We are throwing Sheffield’s biggest outdoor pop concert this summer with some help from our festival partners at Real Radio and Tramlines Festival. Real Radio is the perfect partner for Sheftival because of their wealth of experience of presenting safe high attendance events and their indisputable ability to put a real smile on everyone’s face.

 

We’ll be staging live bands, Sheffield’s leading music clubs, and loads of other things to enjoy including Devonshire Markets, a real ale trail, crafts, Jamaican jerk barbeque, carnival parade and free ice skating in iceSheffield.

 

We are a not for profit event and any money made will immediately be reinvested into the city's sporting and cultural events. Sheftival is our take on an Olympics party, done festival style, and we can’t wait to see you all down there

On 4th and 5th August, the best of Sheffield’s music, radio, sporting and event organisers will be taking over the Don Valley Complex with an event programme as lively, colourful and diverse as Sheffield itself. ‘Sheftival’ is the city’s biggest ever festival of sport and culture, timed to celebrate our own Jess Ennis's Olympic final. Sheftival is our take on an Olympics party, done festival style!

 

Priced to make everyone welcome, Sheftival will be hosting the city's biggest outdoor pop concert this summer in partnership with our good friends at Real Radio and Tramlines Festival.

 

Real Radio will be bringing some of the biggest acts in pop music to the Sheftival main stage. With a wealth of experience of presenting safe, high attendance events Real will give Sheftival goers a fantastic, fun filled and star-studded festival. Their Sony Award winning ‘Feel Good Breakfast’ team of Dixie and Gayle will be introducing acts from the stage as well as other presenters from across the schedule including Hometime’s Pete Edgerton. The famous Real Patrol also will be around the festival handing out freebees, taking photos and generally having fun. Real Radio will also be running special competitions on air and online at www.realradioyorkshire.com to win exclusive packages, ‘meet and greets’ with the stars to ensure Sheftival puts a real smile on everyone’s face.

 

Alternative music will be showcased on The JuJu Club World Music stage or you can chill out and play games in the Sharrow Festival Family area. Music and entertainment is available all over the site at the Buskers Barge, acoustic stages, and at the Monkey Bump Dance Tent showcasing Sheffield's leading club brands creating a summertime party vibe. You can even arrive in style from Victoria Keys on the barge itself!

 

In true festival fashion, we will be filling the site with loads of other things to do. Enjoy mouth watering gourmet food, peruse Devonshire Markets, a real ale trail, crafts (and cupcakes no doubt!), and Jamaican jerk barbeque. You can join the carnival parade, hit the fairground or even go ice skating for free!

At Sheftival, we will be broadcasting Jess Ennis, Usain Bolt and the rest of the Olympics, live on a 48square metre big screen in Don Valley Stadium where anyone can join us for free.
