It’s that time of the year!
Time to put aside the muddy boots and throw on something a little more fancy for an unforgettable evening of celebration. Join us on Saturday 19th July for the SWG annual summer party 🥳

Peak District 75th Birthday Picnic
What better way to celebrate the 75th birthday of the Peak District National Park with an outdoor picnic on the beautiful Longshaw Estate? Join the Sheffield Walking Group in our celebration of this moment with a outdoor picnic (weather permitting) and hopefully a glorious sunset!
Book Club #14 Crossings by Alex Landragin
Our next book club choice is a lesser known but intriguing novel: Crossings is written in 3 parts, spanning 150 years and 7 lifetimes and is designed to be read in 2 different directions. Much like a circular walk you could say.. although even Jonathan has yet to lead a walk that spans 7 lifetimes.
"The North" - preview of the ultimate hiking film
You wouldn’t want to miss the preview of the ultimate hiking movie!
Sheffield Adventure Film Festival - Made in Sheffield

Axe throwing!
Taking a break from walking to try something different. We've booked a session at Boom Battle Bar for axe throwing!
Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned thrower, this is a great chance to hang out with fellow walkers, share some laughs, and maybe discover a hidden talent.
Book Club #13 The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
In this instalment of book club we will be discussing The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karuntatilaka
For anyone new to the book club, we go to the pub and have an informal chat about the book and any other interesting questions that it raises. If we get a lot of people, we might split into smaller groups of 3 or 4 and then mix it up halfway through.
Chinese New Year Celebration
Happy Year of the Horse! Join us in the Peace Garden for a celebration that full of joy and tradition.
Bowling and Burgers!
Time to trade the walking boots for some bowling shoes!
Join us for a brilliant evening of bowling and burgers!

2 games of bowling
A tasty burger to refuel
All for just £10!
The Great Book Choosing
There is no book to read before this meeting but there is some thinking to do! Time to choose the books for this year!
Christmas Pub Meet
Missed the Christmas party? Or just fancy another festive drink with good company? Join us at Sheffield Tap, right next to the train station, where there's a great selection of drinks for everyone—whether you're after a proper pint or sticking to soft drinks. Let's gather for one last hurrah before Christmas!
Book Club #12 Persuasion
For our 12th book we are dipping into the Regency period with Persuasion, Jane Austen’s final novel. Despite being written over 200 years ago, it remains a popular classic, perhaps due to its enduring themes of love, regret, and societal pressures.
Light up Sheffield and Christmas Market
This year three of Sheffield’s notable buildings are being lit up with light displays. Join us to explore the displays before heading to the Christmas market for some food and drinks to continue the merriment!
Map reading in a pub!

Chatsworth Fireworks
Organiser: Chris
Date: Saturday 1st November
Time: 19:15
Location: Calton Lees Car Park, DE4 2NX
Meet at The Carlton Lees Car Park DE4 2NX. We will then head to a viewing point. They usually have two displays, one being at 19:45 and then 20:30 with the event finishing after the second display. Please bring a torch, something to sit on, snacks, sturdy footwear as it will be muddy and waterproofs if needed.
Transport: I would advise on car sharing and arrange lifts via Meetup. Alternatively you could catch the 218 bus to Baslow Nether End and walk through the park. I will be already on site but i can take 3 people back to Sheffield.
