Sheffield History Challenge!

Get to know the city, and some of the people on your course, with our Sheffield Walk and Selfie Challenge 2023! 

It should take about an hour to complete, so you might want to do it straight after your tutorial, or later in the week. The selfies will be entered into a prize draw, and everyone dropping their entry off at our History Reception by the end of Week 2 - 5pm on Friday 6 October - will get a Department of History mug to ensure you’re the envy of your housemates or your family! The winning team will receive a WithUS voucher, so your team can go for coffee and cake together in one of our campus cafes.

Other local history walks

Whether you are new to Sheffield or have lived here all your life, we have some printable maps for self-guided tours - follow the steps of Sheffield suffragettes' fight for the vote, explore Sheffield's queer history or go on a circular walk to check out Sheffield's buildings.
