The National Fairground Archive invites you to discover the entertainment heritage of the City of Sheffield.

Drawing on the NFA's extensive collections and with material kindly loaned from Museums Sheffield and the Local Studies Collection, this exhibition covers the world of illegitimate entertainment; the growth of the music hall and variety in the 20th century; the world of magic; early cinematograph shows and the travelling funfairs that are part of the history of the City.
