Start or grow a business

Sheffield is a great place to start a business because it's big enough to feel like there's opportunity, but small enough to feel that you can make a difference. We have a strong business community with a genuine appreciation of local independents, a tech sector positioned for great collaboration and a rich manufacturing base.

Top walk, run or rides with a great pub

There are two things Sheffield is world famous for: our greenspace, and our beer. We thought it was worth celebrating this by giving you some top places to run, walk or ride AND find a proper pub to start, end, or break up your adventure.

ERF - Events

Events are a powerful way to unite people, celebrate the unique qualities of our community, highlight the rich diversity of our neighbourhoods, and showcase the vibrant independent businesses that make our high streets special. Thanks to the Economic Recovery Fund, we've enjoyed a wealth of creative, dynamic events that have energised our high streets, drawn people together, and boosted support for our local businesses.
