Serenade & Symphony: On Foot

The way this walking tour works is that when you are close to an iconic music location in Sheffield, the app will automatically start playing the audio guide for that spot. We advise you to walk, get your boots on, your headphones in, and head to one of the spots on the map. When you are close by, you will start to hear a voice in your ears.

  • You will need a smartphone (iPhone, Android, Samsung etc)
  • You will need to download an app to do the walking tour, it’s called ECHOES and instructions for how to download the app are below.
  • You will need headphones connected to your smartphone.
