The Sheffield & District Family History Society Fair will be held at the historic Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria Hotel.   The hotel was originally opened in 1862 and visited by the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1875; there is even a suggestion that Oscar Wilde stayed in 1884!

Open 10 am – 4 pm, the Fair will host national, regional and local exhibitors, ranging from genealogical to local history, as well as Sheffield Archives. Parking and admission are free and food/drinks will be available to purchase throughout the day.    Join us for an enjoyable day of family and local history.
