Have you ever wanted to learn more about Sheffield’s history? Why not start with a fascinating glimpse into Sheffield’s Victorian past on our guided tour of this Grade II* listed historic Cemetery.
Meet the residents who shaped Sheffield’s history, from Mark Firth and Samuel Holberry to the Cole Brothers and George Bassett, and many more. Discover the stories behind some of our 87,000 burials, see the French-inspired catacombs and the listed monuments & structures including the recently restored Samuel Worth Chapel, in this unique and historic Victorian landscaped ‘Garden Cemetery’.
Event starts at The Gatehouse, top of Cemetery Avenue, Sheffield, S11 8NT.
Our café and bookstall will be open at the Samuel Worth Chapel from 11.30am to 2pm – purchases by cash, debit/credit card or phone app (e.g. Google Pay, Apple Pay).
