The Festival of the Outdoors returns this March, ready to kick off the city’s outdoor season with a full month of events and activities, celebrating the strength of Sheffield’s vibrant outdoor communities.
Taking place 1 - 31 March 2020, once again the city’s outdoor organisations, groups, clubs and businesses are coming together to offer a unique festival programme of over 100 events, with everything from ‘come-and-try’ taster sessions, demos, rides, runs and urban paddleboarding to guided walks and conservation.
Headline events for the festival include the Rab Climbing Works International Festival, Sheffield Adventure Film Festival, Big Running Weekend and The Magnificent Seven. South Yorkshire Orienteers will also help kick-start the festival when they host a national orienteering race out at Burbage on Sunday 1 March.
A new addition for 2020 and one of Sheffield’s biggest major events, the Asda Foundation Sheffield Half Marathon has also come on board to become part of the Festival of the Outdoors this year.
The outdoors is for everyone and with so much on offer in our wonderful city we want to spread the word as far and wide as possible. Whether it’s watching, participating or trying something for the very first time, there’s lots of opportunity to get involved- come and join us!
