Steel City Wanderers is an open group which explores the culture, geography and energy of Sheffield in the form of short, guided walks. The objective of the group is to explore areas of Sheffield and subjects not usually familiar to u3a members. These include; street art, poetry, music, industrial history and the natural and built environment. Walks are usually in the period April – September. Walks are limited to 20 -25 people so early booking is advisable! Popular walks may be repeated.
Steel City Wanderers in 2026
Happy New Year to all Steel City Wanderers! I’m looking to organise some more fascinating walks around our unique city in 2026. As usual, I will look to plan walks for the months when the weather is most likely to be kind to us, probably from May onwards. Please keep checking Links and the Sheffield u3a website for information.
COULD YOU ‘HOST’ A WALK?
We are always on the lookout for new ‘themes’. Do you have knowledge of a subject pertinent to the fabric, structure or culture of Sheffield? Could you share it with us on a walk? Areas we have covered in the past (but would be happy to cover again) include street art, music, local authors and other subjects. I would be happy to take on the administrative and publicity tasks, if you can lead the walk. If you would like to give it a go – please contact me at the email address shown above.
Thank you.
Brian Clark
