This weekend, Friday 9 June and Saturday 10 June, the Arctic Monkeys return to their home town of Sheffield, performing for 2 nights at Hillsborough Park. In order to support this event, a number of road closures are in place.
Sheffield has stepped into a summer of events after a spring of celebrations. From football to Eurovision via gigs and food festivals, the city has had an incredibly busy month of events, with more to come during the summer.
Sheffield and Khmelnytskyi have been twinned since December 2022 and are coming together to celebrate Eurovision, in a show of solidarity as the United Kingdom hosts the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of last year’s winners, Ukraine.
To support people with increasing living costs, the council set up a package of support last year to help anyone in the city who is facing financial hardship.
