What's on in Kelham Island

Kelham Island sits snugly beside the River Don in South Yorkshire, a place where history and hobbies rub shoulders without making a fuss. You can pop into the Fire & Police Museum to see how things used to run before cars took over the road, or wander round the Graves Gallery for some quiet contemplation that doesn't require a ticket. It's not far to the Dog & Partridge if you've finished your tour and want a pint that tastes better than the one at home. Cavells has been hosting shows for years while Breast Cancer Now keeps an eye on local health matters with their usual efficiency. The Kelham Island Museum holds stories from the area's past, which is handy if you're trying to work out why the street names are so strange. It's a compact spot where you can find something interesting without needing to drive all over South Yorkshire.
