INDOOR THINGS TO DO THIS CHRISTMAS
The Christmas school holidays are nearly here - and if you’re looking for indoor family activities in Sheffield that keep everyone off the sofa and out of the rain, Yard Ball has you covered.
The evenings are wet and miserable, the nights are drawing in, and the festive fixtures are stacking up - giving us all those classic Christmas football memories of heading to the match, wrapped up in scarves, chasing that Boxing Day buzz.
But when the weather turns and the kids need something fun and indoors to do, Yard Ball is the perfect family activity. The best bit? You don't have to be pro to have a go.
Whether you’re stopping by before or after the match at Hillsborough or Bramall Lane, or you just fancy some festive fun out of the wet weather, our doors are wide open.
Bring the kids, the cousins, the whole squad, and settle the score on who’s taking home the Christmas bragging rights in the Yard.

Heading to a Sheffield football match? Yard Ball is the perfect stop-off for some family fun before kick-off - or to extend the excitement and keep the passion of the day going strong. No drills, no pressure, just pure creative play, just like “playing out” on the street when football at Christmas was the highlight of the year.
