International Women's Xmas Party 2026

Living in Sheffield are hosting the International Women's Xmas Party at Merchants Court on Thursday 26 November, from 6:30pm to 10pm. It's a global Christmas celebration for women and non-binary people living in the city, run by Living in Sheffield at the PAD12 venue. The whole thing is about bringing the international community together in person with festive music, tasty treats and holiday cheer.

On the music side, there's a DJ set by Palanca Negra to keep things moving. Your ticket includes a buffet of assorted finger foods, so you can graze throughout the night, and drinks are available to buy at the PAD12 bar. Everyone gets a raffle ticket on the door, with prizes provided by local Sheffield businesses. As for what to wear, the organisers encourage turning up in Christmas jumpers or sequins, so it's a good excuse to dig out the festive gear.

It's a fairly straightforward evening: a buffet, a DJ, a raffle, and a room full of people from across the city. The party runs from 6:30pm to 10pm on Thursday 26 November at Merchants Court, 43 Mowbray Street, Neepsend, S3 8EN, and tickets go for £13.70 to £27.80 via Eventbrite.
