Featured Events in Sheffield in September, 2025 (August Updated)

Safely build your cycling confidence with Pedal Ready and the University of Sheffield Parking & Sustainable Travel team via a guided ride. You’ll be surprised at how pedal-friendly Meadowhall Shopping Centre has become. Our seasoned cycle instructors at Pedal Ready will shepherd a flock of us to Meadowhall. Soak up some beautiful nature and beef up your quads on route. This trip leaves the Arts Tower then winds safely though the city centre and over the River Don on to the Meadowhall Cycle Hub (for some potential refreshments). The route then doubles back on itself and returns to the Arts Tower. The full ride (including return) is approximately eleven miles but crosses some moderate hills, so a medium level of fitness will be required. The attached image of the outbound route is approximate and may change at the ride leader’s discretion. Cycling is an inexpensive way to travel and its fitness benefits are considerable. University hybrid bikes are available to borrow for this event. Contact parking@sheffield.ac.uk prior to the ride to check the availability of a suitable bike/helmet. Riders are encouraged to dress sensibly and wear sunscreen if it's hot. Information Source: University of Sheffield/Pedal Ready | eventbrite

Hallmark Theatre present A Night Honouring Adam Hoyle with a packed night of live music to celebrate the life of Adam Hoyle. All proceeds raised will be in support of St Luke’s Hospice.

So, what better way to pay tribute, with a packed evening of roaring rock n roll! For one night only, The Phasers (with a couple of new faces) will reunite, supported by Atakarma, Santiago Kings and Travis. This is a night you will not want to miss!

ShAFF Film Club is an opportunity to watch amazing adventure films and socialise with other adventure film lovers over a beer. Regather CoOperative is a hidden gem, tucked away behind London Road, it has a cute bar serving its own brewed beer, and a cosy 40-seater cinema space. ShAFF has a long history of vibrant film nights here and will be using the space as a venue for showing some of the amazing films which didn't make the busy festival programme in March, but quite definitely deserve an airing. Weak Layers 91 mins In 1984 a new film subgenre was born – the ski comedy. Birthed on the slopes of what was then called Squaw Valley, Hot Dog…The Movie quickly became a cult hit and spawned two decades worth of followers. From Ski Patrol to Aspen Extreme, Ski School to Better Off Dead, the list of classics goes on and on…until it doesn’t. In the ever-changing Hollywood shuffle the genre has been lost as of late, but certainly not forgotten by legions of fans worldwide. No better time than the present for resurrection. Our feature, Weak Layers, is a progressive throwback to the cult classics. A female-driven ski comedy set at Lake Tahoe that follows three passionate and lovably rowdy local women on a quest to win a world famous 72-hour short ski film competition. The film dissects modern ski culture while championing the tight-knit local communities found in ski towns the world throughout. If ever there was an ode to mountain town life, this is it. The film is directed by and stars Katie Burrell (Dream Job, Coach), a trailblazing auteur in the mountain sports comedy world. Her breakout film, Dream Job, was an international theatrical success and sold to Amazon Studios, and cemented her status as darling of the outdoor sports world. Realizations Films (Buried, Disrupted, United States of Insanity) is the Tahoe-based production company behind the project, and dedicated to highlighting mountain culture and community in cinema. Their most recent feature film project, Buried, highlighting the story behind the 1982 avalanche at Alpine Meadows, was commercially released in late 2022 and now available on Netflix.
