Victoria Quays Wharf Street Sheffield S2 5SY

Sheffield Waterfront Festival 2019 marks the 200th anniversary of the opening of the Sheffield to Tinsley Canal, and you're invited to celebrate with us. While only 3.9 miles long, the importance of its opening to the city was clear with 60,000 people coming to witness the first barges arrive and a public holiday being declared. Much has changed over the last 200 years, but the canal can continue to play a significant role in the development of Sheffield. On 22 September 2018 come along to Victoria Quays for the start of the year long celebration. We will, in partnership with River Stewardship Company be hosting the Sheffield Waterfront Festival for the second year running. There will be: •boat trips •canoe tasters •BBQ & street food •Sheffield-made artisan and traditional crafts •music stage with local bands and musicians playing throughout the day •guided canal walks •audio art exhibition.
