Events in Parks and Countryside

Sheffield Parks & Countryside host over 400 events each year offering a varied programme with something for everyone to enjoy icluding major events, Ranger events and community events

 

These range from major outdoor events like Sheffield Fayre and Art in the Gardens to community events such as carnivals, festivals, sporting events and fun days. Many fund-raising events are held with over £100,000 raised annually for charities and other worthy causes.

 

In addition to those held in our parks and open spaces, some events take advantage of the beautiful countryside that falls within the city boundary and beyond. These include guided walks, cross-country runs, orienteering, bike rides and camping events.

 

The Parks & Countryside Ranger Service offers a wide range of events with activities for all ages, and works closely with community groups to improve the environment by organising activity days. Full details of all Ranger events are in the Ranger Events booklet which is available to download from the Ranger Service web page.

 

 

Some of the beautiful locations within Sheffield parks and green spaces can be made available for your special occasion by arrangement with our Ceremonies Co-ordinator.

 

 

We encourage and welcome groups that are interested in organising new sheffield events, especially those that benefit the community and our environment. Please contact us to discuss your ideas.

 

A leaflet is available for groups who are thinking about or planning a small community event in their green space which contains lots of useful information:-
