Sheffield has a fantastic programme of vibrant events and festivals all year round, from international sporting fixtures and summer music festivals to world-renowned theatre and exhibitions.
Low Bradfield is surrounded by four reservoirs. The closest of the four are Agden and Damflask, and the village is a great starting point for a picturesque waterside walk round one or the other – or both.
Us Sheffielders are known for being friendly and welcoming, making Sheffield a fantastic city to live in whilst you get to grips with student life - plus we are the UK's most affordable student city!
Sheffield's Ecclesall Road is a vibrant 3.6-mile stretch of restaurants, coffee houses, pubs, bars and shops. Intermingled with some familiar brands of restaurants and fast food outlets, you’ll also find a wealth of unique independent businesses worth perusing.
The moorland in and around south-western Sheffield acts as a link between the city itself and the wider Peak District National Park. Much of this vast space, that lies within the city boundary, is in public or charitable ownership and as such is accessible and well-maintained and has vast species of flora and fauna, including red deer.
We’re really proud of our high-quality venues and hotels which offer something a bit different to the usual suspects. They all have a distinctively Sheffield flavour. With 2000 bedrooms within 10 minutes’ walk of our central venues all tastes and budgets are catered for.
The UK's greenest city, where nature and culture intertwine. The historic Peak District National Park and and spiritual home of the country's climbing scene, with downhill mountain biking, road cycling and a hive of activity for kayakers, walkers and runners of all ability.
Sheffield actually has more than 800 managed green spaces across 4,000 hectares within the city boundary. With so much on offer, we wanted to create something to help demonstrate how accessible greenspaces are in The Outdoor City and so we commissioned a ‘Greenground Map’ from designer Helen Ilus.
