What's On in Sheffield
Thursday 29 October 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Sheffield might be heading deeper into autumn, but Thursday the 29th is anything but quiet. The city has a brilliantly raw treat lined up for the evening, and if you have even a passing love of bold, boundary-pushing theatre, this is a night worth clearing your diary for.
Highlights
Trainspotting The Musical — Yes, you read that right — and no, this is not a gimmick. This unflinching, visceral adaptation of Irvine Welsh's iconic story crashes into the Sheffield City Hall Oval Hall at 7:30pm, bringing all the chaos, dark humour, and devastating humanity of the original to the stage in musical form. The Oval Hall is an intimate, atmospheric space that will make every scene hit harder, and this is exactly the kind of gutsy, conversation-starting theatre that reminds you why live performance still matters. Tickets are available via the website, so check for pricing and snap them up before they go.
