Monday, June 2 – Friday, June 6, Steel City Stories exhibition, Jessop West Exhibition Space, University of Sheffield – Entry is free.
If surrounding yourself with local art and local history sounds while supporting undergraduate artists sounds like you then this exhibition featuring visual, textual and aural representations of the Sheffield steel industry could be perfect for a bit of time out. Marking the 100th anniversary of stainless steel this project was produced by photographers Shaun Bloodworth and Andy Brown who worked alongside undergraduates from the University of Sheffield to uncover the forgotten histories of steel to trace the meanings of industry in culture, identity and local heritage.[2]
Saturday, June 7, Ghost hunting and Sheffield’s fire and police museum, The Old Fire Station, 9pm until 3am, £39.
Home to old fire engines and policing memorabilia it is believed that some artefacts still have old spirits attached to them which is why the Ghost Night team have chosen this venue for their next ghost hunt. The most famous spirit is said to be a former inmate called Cain who is known on previous hunts to have thrown glass and making his presence known most to females who enter his cell. The team will also be providing drinks and snacks throughout the night.[3]
