Seven Hills Whisky Festival 2026
Following another sell-out year, the Seven Hills Whisky Festival returns to Sheffield on Saturday, 19th September 2026. Prepare yourself for a day dedicated to the craft, culture and community of whisky. Whether you’re a long-time collector or just starting out, this is the ultimate event to explore and enjoy whisky in all its forms.
This year’s festival brings together over 350 whiskies from distilleries around the world, from global icons to local independents, all under one roof at The Steamworks in Sheffield.
Remember to make time to visit our retail partner Mitchells Wine Merchants on the day who have a pop up shop so you can take home your favourite whisky of the day!
