Britain's What's On Event Guide
Sheffield Skeptics in the Pub
Sheffield Skeptics in the Pub was founded in December 2009 and is a good way for people from all walks of life to hear from experts and discuss with them important issues that affect us all, while enjoying their favourite beverage. Meetings are held every third Monday of the month at Farm Road Sports & Social Club, Farm Road, Sheffield S2 2TP from 7.30 pm. There is no need to book and no entrance fee, but a voluntary donation of £3 is welcome to cover speaker's expenses and room hire. Parking is free.
The title of our October 2025 event, which is hosted by Sheffield Humanists, is ‘Sheffield’s Humanist Heritage’. This special 'in conversation' event features Madeleine Goodall, Humanist Heritage Manager at Humanists UK, and Glenn Lawrence, Coordinator of Sheffield Humanists. Together, they'll introduce some of the stories of the remarkable people and movements that connect Sheffield to the wider history of humanism in the UK. Discover the Chartists who gathered in their thousands in Paradise Square to demand universal suffrage, the radical publishers who risked imprisonment for selling the works of Thomas Paine, and the founders of the Sheffield Ethical Society in 1903, a key forerunner of today's humanist groups. This engaging dialogue will bring to life the freethinkers, activists, and reformers who dared to challenge the status quo and shape a more secular and ethical world, right here in Sheffield. Don't miss this chance to explore the city's incredible humanist heritage.
