Ticketed events for Steel City Beer & Cider Festival – October 2023
Exploring Sheffield’s Little Chicago Quarter in 1925: Gang Wars and a Murder Mystery.
Tickets for our first event are now available: a guided walk with a difference – you will explore Sheffield’s Little Chicago Quarter before your fast-track entry to our Beer Festival. Led by local author, John Stocks, you will explore the social and Industrial heritage of the area, examining the myths and reality of 1925, a tumultuous year in Sheffield’s history. The walk will explore streets that feature in your host’s book ‘Sheffield 1925: Gang Wars and Wembley Glory,’ with a narrative explaining how Sheffield briefly became the most turbulent city in Britain because of an escalating gang war involving the Park Brigade, Mooney Gang, Gas Tank Gang and many others.
The comfortable walk, with just one minor ascent, is under 2 miles and will last for approximately 90 minutes before concluding at Kelham Island Museum, and the 47th Sheffield Steel City Beer Festival (SCBF47) for a post-walk drink and discussion. There will also be the opportunity to purchase copies of the book.
This event will take place on Thursday 19 October; full details and advance tickets are available at: https://tinyurl.com/5yvvdyaw
