Paul & Nina, together with their four-legged companion Summer, were staying with Sheffield DA on our early summer holiday site at Darley Dale when they headed next door to Peak Rail's spectacular "Codename Espionage"1940s Weekend at Rowsley.
And what a weekend it was! Steam trains, military vehicles, wartime camps, live battle re-enactments, a thunderous Howitzer firing... and, if the rumours are true, they even managed to blow up a train! The event recreates the sights, sounds and spirit of wartime Britain with authentic re-enactors, entertainment and heritage trains.

A Great Start to the Season – Sheffield DA at Sherwood Forest Holiday Park
What a way to kick off the year! Sheffield DA hit the ground running with our first meet of the season at Sherwood Forest Holiday Park, and it couldn’t have gone better.
Step beyond the footpaths and discover a park shaped by far more than leisure. This guided walk through Graves Parkfollows lanes worn by centuries of travel, medieval fish ponds still fed by flowing water, woodland ravines carved over thousands of years, and villages that once stood outside the city boundary. From local folklore and historic churches to rare breeds grazing former estate land, this walk reveals how landscape, history, and deliberate preservation come together in Sheffield’s largest park.
Sheffield DA is delighted to return to Darley Dale once again in 2026 with our popular Camping and Caravanning Club Temporary Holiday Site.
Beautiful Summer holiday site; Criccieth, Pearl of Wales, Mountains, Coast and Castles.
A Week of Wonders in the West
Set on the Rally Field at Offenham, near Evesham, Sheffield DA’s Spring Bank Holiday site is perfectly placed for exploring Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and the Northern Cotswolds.

A message from our longest serving chairman, Mr Iain Bonfield. As most of you will now know, I have taken the decision that following this year’s AGM I would no longer stand for Chairman of Sheffield DA.
I was elected from the floor to the role of Chairman of Sheffield DA back in the last millennium, 1999. It was a role that I have greatly enjoyed holding, and being part of this great and historic DA. But now after nearly 22 years, it’s the time for a new face to take on the role of Chairman and I wish Rob Lees all the best in taking on the baton on leading this great DA as your new chairman of Sheffield DA.
Further to the Government alert and today's new instructions from the Camping and Caravanning Club HQ. Please respect this until further notice and keep our meets and THS as safe as possible.
