Migration Matters Festival: Forged by Migration Outdoor Stage

Sat 27 June 2026 , 11am-4pm

Kelham Island Museum

For the first time in its 11-year history, the Migration Matters Festival is heading outdoors!  

  

With this year’s theme paying homage to Sheffield’s incredible industrial roots, there’s no better place than Kelham Island Museum to host the Forged by Migration Outdoor Stage, in collaboration with Sheffield Museums. Celebrating the communities and cultures that have made Sheffield what it is, expect a soulful and (hopefully) sun-filled afternoon as we welcome musicians, dancers, poets and performers to show what makes this city special. 


So join us for a free, family-friendly event bringing together vibrant music, DJs, dance, exhibitions, international food, and a host of fun-packed museum activities.
