Sheffield Half-Pint Marathon Venue 2025

1st - 30th September 2025

The SHPM is  turning 10 – and we’re going BIG to celebrate! The Sheffield Half Pint Marathon is back this September 2025, and this year it’s twice the size, twice the fun, and packed with even more pints, pubs, and proper Sheffield pride.

For our 10th anniversary, we’re taking the celebration beyond the bar. Yes, it’s still about great beer – but it’s also about what makes Sheffield so special: independent venues, local breweries, creative culture, and community spirit. 

Throughout the month, you'll explore 26 incredible pubs, taprooms, and bars (plus a few surprise bonus stops), with each one showcasing the heart and soul of Sheffield’s thriving scene. Whether you’re discovering a tucked-away microbrewery for the first time, or soaking up artwork from local artists on pub walls, this is your chance to celebrate everything that makes this city pour with personality. And don’t worry – you’ve got the whole of September to complete the marathon. Break it into weekends, tackle one neighbourhood at a time, or sprint through it all if that’s your vibe. It’s not about the race (unless you want it to be). Sheffield is consistently ranked one of the best UK cities for independent business, real ale, and community-led events – and this is your chance to be part of it.

To take part, all you need to do is pop into the pub from 1st September and pick up your map and info sheet to get started. Over the month, visit as many of the 26 venues as you like – whether you’re aiming for a full or half marathon – and collect a stamp at each stop. Each venue will be pouring one of the official Half Pint Marathon beers, with 25p from every pint donated to Sheffield Mind. Prefer something else? No problem – just pop 25p into the charity tin and carry on. Once you’ve completed either 13 or all 26 stops, show your stamped map at any venue to collect your limited-edition 10th anniversary print. 

And don’t forget to check your map for extra challenges – from things to spot to photos to share on social media – there are surprise prizes to be won throughout the month. Take your time, go at your own pace, and soak up the spirit of the city as you go.

Monthly Charity Quiz

Running every last Sunday of the month, a twist on our regular Sunday quiz feature. 

Times are tough for us all and charities are feeling the pinch. We are wanting to enable our customers to help us give back to those that do so much to help others and so we have launched our new monthly charity quiz. The entrance fee for these special quizzes will be £2, with 50% going to the nominated charity. For the first quiz we nominated Sheffield Mind, a charity we have worked with before, but going forward we are going to hand the nominations over to you, our customers. With each entry you will be given a slip to allow you to nominate a charitable organisation of your choice for the next month, this will be drawn at random at the end of the quiz by the Quiz Master.

We hope you can join us and thank you in advance for your support.

 Quiz Nights - Every Wednesday & Sunday! 

Please note that from Wednesday 16th April our Wednesday quiz will also now start at the earlier time of 8:30pm.

Our popular quiz nights run twice every week and cost £1 per person to enter, with beer & wine prizes to be won. On Sunday we host a Noughts and Crosses bingo style quiz - a favourite with our customers, as you don't need to have all the answers to stand a chance of winning. Meanwhile, Wednesday's quiz takes on a more traditional format for those that relish a challenge. You can also purchase a raffle ticket for a £1 for a chance to crack our safe and win the cash prize contents. Quizzes start at 8:30pm and last until around 10pm.

Team tables can be booked via the website booking system or by calling 0114 230 3855, but booking is not compulsory.
