Something a little different!


Treasures and Trails of Sheffield Hallam

Sheffield Hallam University have once again developed a wonderful trail around their central campus buildings.  Their art-themed treasure hunt will give families a guided tour of the most interesting and exciting parts, but you’ll be able have a go at some interactive challenges.  Although the trail starts during the CU Festival of Fun, it runs throughout the summer, so plenty of time to have a go - Friday 27th July to Friday 24th August (Mon-Fri only), 9.00am-3.00pm, starts at Owen Building, City Campus, Howard Street, S1 1WB

But that’s not all – Sheffield Hallam University are holding their Family Fun Day once again on Friday 27th July – a fun packed day of interactive activities including arts and crafts, competitions, experiments, sports and the launch of the treasure hunt as above.
