As part of this year’s Nether Edge Festival, join us for a thought-provoking guided tour exploring the lives of women, both wealthy and working class, connected to Sheffield General Cemetery. This walking tour uncovers the often overlooked stories of the women who shaped the city’s history.
Our companion book A Woman’s Place will be available to purchase on the day or online in advance, offering deeper insights into the lives commemorated here. After the tour, join us at the Samuel Worth Chapel for refreshments – our café and bookstall will be open from 12.00-3.30pm.
