Sensoria is the UK’s festival of film and music. The festival presents a unique mix of live performances, film screenings, installations, and exhibitions plus music and film industry activity at venues across Sheffield. Since it began in 2008, the festival has welcomed the likes of Jarvis Cocker, Bill Drummond, Richard Hawley, Forgemasters, Chris and Cosey, Laurie Anderson, Nitin Sawhney, Christopher Eccleston, Jlin, DJ Stingray, and many more. Renowned for its use of unusual venues, events have included city centre Drive-Ins, swimming pool screenings, and an AV installation in a 60s hotel ballroom. Sensoria takes place annually in autumn. SensoriaPro, our informal Industry Day, also delivers high-quality ongoing activity for professionals and emerging talent within the music and film industries.

Throughout the year we present Sensoria Teasers – events, activities, and collaborations as and when the opportunity arises.

Sensoria is based in Sheffield – a city renowned for its creative and technical innovation and one rich in musical heritage.
