Place Making and the Sheffield Food Connection

What is ‘Place Making’ and why should it matter? Place making is all about turning spaces into places people feel proud of and part of every day.

A change of scenery

Sheffield is ranked as the best UK city in which to start a business, the UK's greenest city, Europe's second best city break, and the UK's foodie hotspot... so it's worth making any excuse to come for a city break! Whether you're a speaker or a delegate at a conference here, own your own business and want to locate somewhere with the amazing access to talent we have from two world-class Universities, or Sheffield is en-route or close by another business location - make sure you pay us a visit…

A city break with a soundtrack

Bradfield

Just 7 miles out from the centre of Sheffield lies the civil parish of Bradfield, a quaint district of villages where the city starts to overlap with the beautiful Peak District National Park.
