Description

Sheffield's 12 Pubs of Christmas kicks off on Thursday 3 December, a pub crawl through the city that takes the name from the old tradition of hitting twelve boozers in one go. It's a proper Sheffield way to start the festive season, and this year it's happening across the city centre on a Thursday night.

The format is straightforward: you start at 18:00 and work your way through twelve different pubs. It's a trail, so you're moving from one to the next throughout the evening rather than staying put. If you've never done a pub crawl like this before, the idea is to have a drink at each stop, though how far you actually make it through the twelve is entirely up to you. It's as much about the walk between the pubs and the people you're with as it is about the drinks themselves.

Because it's a trail, it's a good way to see a few different spots in the city in one night, and since it's a group thing, it's easy to bring a few mates along. It's a low-pressure way to get into the Christmas spirit before the proper madness of December sets in. The whole thing gets going at 18:00, so you've got the evening ahead of you to work your way through the list.
