Pitch Decks: What’s The Big Deal?

Every different type of business has its own favoured route for presenting itself in the best light.

Bamboo Door

Sheffield’s First Tiki Bar was born in April 2014, but it's constantly evolving as they find (and get given by customers!) more and more tiki artefacts from around the world. The cocktail menu is always being revised, but if you fancy something different just ask the tiki monkeys and they will guide you to your perfect drink!

Student life

A circular walk from Surprise View

This particular walk is a superb short stroll, suitable for families with young children (although bear in mind that it’s not pushchair friendly) or for those who are looking for a leisurely amble with a café stop en-route. It also works well as a trail run and, if you’re looking for something more challenging, it’s easy to add extra miles via exploring the myriad of paths around the Burbage moors.

Families

Planning activities to do with the kids? The beauty of spending time in Sheffield is that family attractions, food and drink, parks and playgrounds are all close to one another.

Kelham Island
