Sheffield by the Seaside 2026

Grab your buckets and spades as the seaside returns to Sheffield's Peace Gardens this summer.

Sheffield by the Seaside returns from 23 July to 29 August, bringing a wave of seaside fun to the Heart of the City.

Perfect for families, this summer favourite transforms the city centre with real sand, lively entertainment and a vibrant holiday atmosphere - ideal for making the most of the school holidays without leaving Sheffield.

The fun continues along Fargate, where visitors can enjoy classic fairground rides, including Dodgems and a vintage carousel.

The seaside will be open daily throughout the summer holidays, from Thursday 23 July until Saturday 29 August.
