Attention
Sheffield readers!
Hello
again, I am back with more events to give you a little inspiration to explore
South Yorkshire with your family this summer and what’s more suiting than Sheffield Children's Festival.
The
festival is set to take place throughout June and has activities that most
children will enjoy, whether your child loves adventures and tiring themselves
out for bedtime (thank god!) or prefers listening to stories. Here is a mini
guide to what’s on and where.
Ironie + Friends
Trail- Kelham Island Museum

Kelham
Island Museum is already a popular attraction for families and is the perfect
place if you want to teach your children about the Steel City.
The
museum displays life and toll of the Sheffield Industrial workers in the
Victorian period and has interactive stations along the trail, a great place
for kids who just want to touch everything!
However,
with a little help from metal friend ‘Ironie’, children can really get involved
in a fun museum adventure and I can imagine all of us adults will enjoy this
one too.
There
is also a café and free play area if you fancy a bite to eat.
The
prices are fantastic as kids go free and it’s only £5.50 for adults with a
bonus of free parking, yippee! If you don’t have a car the museum is only a 25
minute walk from Sheffield train station of a short walk from Shalesmoor
tramstop. You can find more information here or call 0114 272 2106.

One
of the other events for Sheffield Children’s Festival is for the quieter ones
who enjoy being read to. ‘Story Tent Fun’ runs on the 21st of
June at 12PM and 2PM and engages little ones in tales of mice and clockmakers.
The
museum also has a lovely Victorian Garden and walks around the Dam if the
weather is nice or old fashioned style displays if the ‘British Summer’ lives
up to its unpredictable name.
Once
again children go free and adults are £4.00 with free parking or easily
accessible by bus. Find out more here.
There
is loads more going on too for Sheffield Children’s Festival so go and take a
look at what’s on and make the most of summer.
Until
next time,
Chanel.
