Parkour in Sheffield: Come and Train With Us
Want to train parkour or freerunning in Sheffield? Come and join us. Sheffield Parkour & Freerunning (SPKF) has been running open, welcoming sessions across the city since 2005, and everyone is welcome – from complete beginners taking their first steps to experienced athletes. Our club session is every Thursday at 6pm at Endcliffe Parkour Park, and members are out training across Sheffield all week. Say hello on our Discord and we’ll tell you where and when.
When and where we train
Alongside our partners at Northern Parkour, our community trains together right through the week in Sheffield, and everyone is welcome, whatever your experience level:
- Thursdays, 6pm: Endcliffe Parkour Park, our weekly club session. All abilities welcome.
- All week: members are out training across Sheffield. Get in touch on our Discord to find out where and when.
- Indoor classes: NovaCity Centre runs coached parkour classes for all ages and levels in Rotherham and Barnsley. Their timetable is on our Nova City page.
Endcliffe Park’s purpose-built parkour park, with its bars, walls and platforms, is perfect for beginners and seasoned movers alike. Session times can occasionally change with the seasons and the weather, so the best way to check what’s on this week is our community Discord.
How to get started
We’re a community, not a business. Say hello on our Discord, come down on a Thursday, introduce yourself and get moving. Parkour is one of the most accessible activities there is: no expensive kit, no gym membership, and one of the best things to do in Sheffield to get active and build real confidence.
Who can come?
Everyone is welcome – all ages and all abilities. Beginners are the reason we’re here, and there’s always someone happy to show you the ropes and help you train safely. If you’re under 18, please come along with a parent or guardian, or drop us a message on Discord first so we can look after you. Brand new to the sport?

What to bring
- Comfortable clothes you can move in
- Trainers with decent grip
- Water, and a warm layer for after
- A good attitude – that’s the only real requirement
