Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to share your views in this survey about Sheffield by the Seaside — one of the city centre’s most vibrant summer events.
Each year, Sheffield by the Seaside brings the charm of the seaside to the heart of our city. With deck chairs on the Peace Gardens, sand underfoot, and the sounds of summer music floating through the air, the event is designed to offer families, children, visitors, and residents a taste of the British seaside experience—right here in the middle of South Yorkshire. Whether you're building sandcastles, enjoying an ice cream, or simply soaking up the holiday spirit, Sheffield by the Sea aims to create memories, stimulate local footfall, and promote positive engagement within the city centre.
This survey is part of an ongoing effort to understand how well the event is meeting those goals—and how it can be improved, expanded, or reimagined for the future.
🏙️ The City Behind the Event
Sheffield by the Seaside is a key fixture in Sheffield’s city centre calendar. It plays an important role in drawing people into town during the summer holidays—particularly families looking for free or low-cost ways to entertain children. It’s also an important activation point for Fargate, The Peace Gardens and surrounding areas, providing a boost to city centre businesses and encouraging positive community engagement at a time when footfall can be variable.
This year’s event arrives during a challenging period for many high streets. As city centres across the UK face the ongoing pressures of changing consumer habits, reduced in-person shopping, and economic uncertainty, events like Sheffield by the Seaside are more important than ever. They help reimagine public space, support footfall, and encourage people to rediscover what the city centre has to offer—beyond just retail.
