All events take place at venues around Sheffield, with past shows being held anywhere  from outdoor swimming pools to 60s hotel ballrooms. Thus the festival has become famous for its interesting use of space. 

This year, the festival welcomes actsThe Forbidden Strings and The Afropean Express, who are performing on the 5th and the 9th of October respectively.

Among the venues used to create the festival this year is the University of Sheffield’s drama studio,  where acts such as Sister Wives X Permanent Distraction and UDAGAN will be performing.

These events range from £5 to £12 and can be purchased via the Sensoria website: https://www.sensoria.org.uk/current-events/.
