The mighty Gladiators is back streaming into homes across the UK every Saturday night and the 12 month count down has begun to arguably one of the largest events Sheffield has hosted to date: The European Figure Skating Championships comes to the city from 12-18 Jan 2026 (nicely timed to coincide with the Sunday night TV ice dancing show) 2025 is a big year for Sheffield.
By the end of 2024 the doors to many new venues and hotels were firmly open.
Cambridge Street Collective – the largest purpose build food hall in Europe and winner of Best UK Foodhall 2024 is a runaway success. A food destination and social hub over 3 levels, complete with 24+ kitchens, rooftop bars, a cookery school and first-class accessibility is a game changer for networking events. Run by foodie entrepreneurs, the Blend Family, it combines variety and vibrancy with their social enterprise helping the most vulnerable in society.
The stunning Radisson Blu Hotel is open for business with an enviable location overlooking the Peace Gardens. Events organisers will love its restored Victorian architecture, stunning bar with spectacular views and 154 bedrooms as well as its events suite (280 delegate capacity over 6 rooms).
The DoubleTree by Hilton Sheffield City hotel is another firm favourite. The 155-room hotel includes a penthouse suite, a fitness centre and five event spaces for up to 300 guests. Onsite parking and a very glamorous and specious bar & networking area also come as standard.
If you are looking for post-industrial elegance then Sheffield will not disappoint. 99 Mary Street with its stripped brick walls inspires both presenter and presented-to. For events of up to 50 it’s proving popular for all-day meets and half day meets to fancy presentations, fashion shoots, live concerts and cocktail parties. All within a stone’s throw of the station.
Excitement is also building around The Victoria (third venue offering from the successful owners of The Chimney House and The Mowbray) The conversion of a 19th century industrial works and chapel will create what the team call their ‘ultimate reuse project’. Reclaimed treasures and repurposed items mix with solar energy and a commitment to sustainability accommodating up to 500 delegates – all experiencing their concept of ‘Spectacular Eating’ from Head Chef Emma Tophill-Reed.
New investments: The Utilita Arena and Sheffield City Hall have joined the family of venues at ASM Global – Europe. The new operators will oversee a new chapter for two of Sheffield’s best loved venues as they look ahead to an exciting future with investment and improvement works already underway. Some great refurbished rooms and leisure facilities are now available at the waterside Quays Hotel and other food hall favourite Kommune are refurbing their lofty and expansive urban space early 2025.
