OFFSET SHEFFIELD 2016
The Crucible Theatre more well known as the home of professional snooker, will be our home for what will be our 10th OFFSET this October 21st- 22nd.
OFFSET will be part of the Sheffield Catalyst Festival of Creativity (running until November) as well as a key element in Sheffield’s Design Week (22nd – 30th October 2016).
Both have an exciting and varied programme, including exhibitions, workshops, talks, design conferences, installations, product launches, open studios and walking trails joining together venues across Sheffield.

More speakers announced soon.
The second stage powered by Squarespace is a more intimate setting for one on one interviews, panel discussions and debates and will feature talks from Morag Myserscough, Andy Altman, Andy Stevens, Pip Jamieson, MPC and Aaron Duffy.
So join us at the second stage (at the Adelphi Room) for an opportunity to dig a bit deeper, explore a bit further and get that little bit closer to our stellar line-up of speakers. The full programme is to be announced in a few weeks but you can be sure that will be a distinct Sheffield feel to it.
