Sounds like a music festival, however, this is the home of the British Bouldering Competition. The festival for climbers, mountain bikers and skateboarders, alongside everything outdoorsy. As Sheffield is sometimes called the outdoor city, it makes sense, that we hold this annual celebration of all things outdoor. The admission is FREE! Small charges for some activities is to be expected. Held on the weekend of 6th-8th July in the city centre.

Swimming Championships
