Crookes-Cheller Music Festival Excitement Returns for 2025

Crookes-Cheller is back! Our much-loved local Sheffield music festival returns to The Punch Bowl this May bank holiday weekend – and we can’t wait to welcome you.

As a proud True North venue, we’re all about creating safe, inclusive spaces where people, families, and music lovers can come together to have fun, connect, and enjoy great entertainment. This annual celebration champions local, up-and-coming acts, brings the community together, and – fingers crossed – makes the most of that sweet spring sunshine!

If you’re looking for things to do in Sheffield this May, this is the one to mark in your calendar. Get ready, Crookes – something very special is coming your way this bank holiday weekend!

We’re buzzing to bring you Crookes-Cheller Music Festival, landing at The Punch Bowl on Friday 23rd May from 5pm and rolling into Saturday 24th May from 12 noon. It’s a full weekend of free live music, top scran, ice-cold drinks, and good vibes all round – and you're invited!

Whether you're here for the banging tunes, the buzzing community feel, or just an excuse to kick back in the beer garden with a pint in hand, we’ve got you covered. Expect an outdoor bar serving your favourites, a food lineup that’ll keep you well-fed from day to night, and a killer schedule of live performances from some of the best local talent around. And yes – this one’s for all ages! We’ve planned a few family-friendly bits too, so bring the whole gang along.

Crookes-Cheller is more than just a festival – it’s a celebration of everything we love about our neighbourhood: music, mates, community spirit, and having a proper good time.

Follow us on socials for the full music lineup, food updates, and sneak peeks in the run-up to the weekend.

And remember – no tickets, no fuss. Just show up and get stuck in > but if you want a table feel free to book early.

Let’s make it a weekend to remember – see you at The Punch Bowl!
