The Fringe at tramlines | best of the fest
it’s back! The many-headed multi- tentacled beautiful thing that is sheffield’s annual fringe at Tramlines event. To say it’s the diverse treat you’ve come to expect would be to do a grave disservice to the fizzing and popping line-up of undiscovered, breaking and headline musical names, big communal moments, left-field activities and pop-up events that will take place across the city over Festival Weekend. it’s here, and our job is to guide you through it...
the Peace gardens // saturday and sunday
The Peace Gardens will be completely transformed over the weekend with licensed bars, an 80s/90s disco, a big helter skelter and plenty of deckchairs to kick back in. There will also be an exciting and varied range of food traders present - providing the perfect spot to enjoy the festivities.
Barker’s Pool //

Slap-bang in the centre of the city, Barker’s Pool will be playing host to some of the best street entertainers on the UK circuit. The University of Sheffield will once again bring a two day programme of great street entertainers featuring acts that regularly perform at Covent Garden and Glastonbury. This year’s line-up is also supported by Orchard Square and features (amongst others) George Orange from Chicago, The Comedy Waiters and the infamous Granny Turismo.
