Jump to line up

The BBC is treating podcast listeners to three days of unique and exciting shows all for FREE. You could be in the front row for one-off live podcast recordings and special sessions. Come and join us for…

Gardeners' Question Time, the Shipping Forecast, Football Daily, Newscast, Rewinder with Greg James, Radio 2 Book Club with Sara Cox, One Person Found This Helpful with Frank Skinner, Indie Forever and Unwind Your Mind.

Between shows, you can relax in the BBC Sounds Garden — an open-air listening experience with deck chairs and bean bags, plus a photo booth to capture some memories at Crossed Wires — maybe with one of your favourite podcasters! 

The BBC Sounds Fringe is located in the former Cole Brothers (John Lewis) Department Store, Barker’s Pool, Sheffield. And the BBC Sounds Garden is just in front, on Barker’s Pool. There will also be a festival bar and an eclectic range of food stalls.

BBC Sounds Fringe

Open Friday 4th to Sunday 6th July, 11am to 10pm

BBC Sounds Garden

Open 11am to 6pm

PLEASE NOTE: As tickets are free, people often request more than they need, so we have to issue more tickets than there are seats available to allow for this. Entry into the show is on a first come, first served basis, and is not guaranteed even with a reservation.
