CAMRA Sheffield & District are proud to bring you STEEL CITY 45, our sapphire anniversary beer and cider festival, organised and staffed by volunteers who just want to share their love of good beer and cider! Fancy joining our team of volunteer staff? Find out more below.
Once again we are at the atmospheric Kelham Island Museum with over 250 craft beers on cask and KeyKeg, 50 real ciders and perries, street food vendors, traditional pub games, live music and more.
The festival is laid out over a number of different areas – the Victorian courtyard, Millowners Arms traditional pub, Upper Hall, Marquee and Brearley Room.
Children
Accompanied children are welcome until 8pm but must not approach the bars.
Dogs
Due to venue restrictions dogs are not permitted on site, except for recognised assistance dogs.
Please arrive early...
...to avoid queues or full capacity at busy times.
Volunteers
One of the things that makes our festival special is the great volunteers we have. Why not join the team? We think you'll enjoy it and there's some fab rewards on offer:
- Free staff t-shirt (subject to availability)
- Free beer while working (within reason)
- Free £5 food voucher if working two consecutive shifts
- Free staff trip to Harrogate on Sat 9 Nov sponsored by WALKLEY BEER CO. and includes a discount voucher to spend in their shop (£10 refundable deposit required)
And if you're willing to help that bit more:

River Don Engine
Engine Room
See Europe’s most powerful working steam engine in action!
The River Don Engine was built by Davy Brothers of Sheffield in 1905 at Park Iron Works in Sheffield.
It was made to drive Charles Cammell‘s armour plate rolling mill located at his Grimesthorpe Works. Cammell’s was one of the companies in the city that supplied the shipbuilding industry with tough armour plate steel.
At a weight of 400 tons and 12,000 horsepower, it enabled the huge mill to roll steel plate up to 40 cm thick and 50 tons in weight.
