Join Duncan Froggatt of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) for a guided walk along an easy-going city centre discovering trail to explore how engineering has developed the city of Sheffield.
Sheffield is a civilised city and this walk shows something of how this has been achieved.  You will see buildings and structures, various forms of transport (road, rail, tram and water) and the bridges they need.  While you won’t see hidden essentials like water supply and drainage, you will learn something about where they are.  All designed and constructed by engineers applying science and using engineering principles.

The walk will set off from the Cathedral Forecourt on Church Street and is suitable for all abilities, including mobility scooters and push-chairs.  Length 2.5 miles duration 2.5 hours.
This event is part of Sheffield Walking Festival and Heritage Open Days.

FREE event, but booking is essential as places are limited.
Book online via the event web pages from 21 August 2025.
