A year-long programme celebrating sheffield’s global communities across the city.
Sanctuary 2027 is a programme of events and community led initiatives that will reaffirm our ongoing and collective commitment to being a place of safety and welcome.
What’s On
Sheffield, Proud to be the first city of sanctuary
In 2007, Sheffield became the first city of sanctuary in the UK, which sparked a movement that has spread across the country. Sanctuary 2027 will reaffirm and re-establish our commitment to being a place of safety and welcome and to do that with joy and power.
Supported by
bringing communities together
Sanctuary 2027 is not just a programme of events, it is a movement - an opportunity to practice and model the kind of welcome, solidarity and collective responsibility that led to Sheffield becoming the UK’s first city of Sanctuary.
This is our opportunity to bring people together from the many communities of Sheffield to vocally acknowledge and build on this commitment for the benefit of all. Sanctuary 2027 will exist across Sheffield combining large scale events with community led initiatives that celebrate and reaffirm our commitment to being a place of sanctuary.
20 Years of Sanctuary. A City of Belonging.
