DocFest

Widely recognised as one of the best documentary festivals in the world, DocFest has been held in Sheffield annually since 1994. The festival presents a vast programme of film screenings, exhibitions, industry events and more.

Success stories

Business Sheffield, together with Launchpad and other business support services in the city, have helped a number of local start ups and scale ups succeed in their ambitions.

Get outdoors

We have 61% greenspace here, which is the highest percentage of any city in the world. Everywhere is walkable, and 1/3 of the city is in the Peak District National Park, meaning Sheffield is a destination for boulders, climbers, MTBers and runners in its own right. But none of this excludes the culture, cuisine, nightlife and feel that you get from the country's 4th largest city. Ultimately, we think we've got the best of both worlds, smashed together in one amazing place.

Help for local businesses

We know businesses of any kind need help, and Business Sheffield have the experience to do just that. We have done so for 30 years, helping approximately 3,500 businesses in one way or another, to an approximate value of £3bn to the local economy. 

What's On

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.

Sheffield's running clubs and groups

Don’t let the hills fool you, Sheffield is the perfect place to run. With dozens of parks and pedestrian-friendly routes around the city, as well as world-class training venues like the English Institute of Sport, the facilities in the city are second-to-none.

Get Together

Get Together - as the name suggests - is a friendly affair. It's about having a great time discovering new music whilst meeting some great people, and also getting to have some tasty food and drink from local producers while you're at it. It's about ditching the attitude that can come with music sometimes, about letting yourself go, and coming together at the same time.

Grants
