The go-to guide for you and your child

It’s our 10 year anniversary!

I have been running Raring2go! Sheffield for 10 years this March, where have all those years gone! Our very first issue was Summer 2009, my son was so impressed at being a cover star back then, the novelty soon wore off though, think it lasted all of about 2 issues, so I then involved friends kids too! Now we have reached our 10 year anniversary, I want to get more local children involved, so please make sure you follow us on Facebook to find out more and how you can put your child forward to be a future cover star with us…… Our Facebook page is Raring2go! Sheffield.
