As Sheffield’s Heart of the City Project (that’s £470 million of redevelopment across the city centre) is transforming the city, several new venues are set to open their doors imminently.
The cultural impact of electronic music is closely tied to Sheffield, whose late‑70s and early‑80s pioneers helped shape the genre as we know it. Today, the city’s artists, producers, performers and festivals continue to lead the way, pushing boundaries, shaping the industry and introducing audiences to new sounds and unforgettable experiences.
It’s been a successful summer in Sheffield as we’ve hosted a number of high-profile events (the Women’s Euros being a particular highlight) and some of hotels and venues having record breaking months. Conferences have played no small part in this and the team at Conference Sheffield have had one of our busiest and most successful summers to date. Here are a few of our highlights showing why Sheffield really does make for a smart event move.
Following an extensive refurbishment, the team behind beloved music pub The Washington have reopened The Hallamshire Hotel on West Street.
One of Sheffield's unique strangely-named places, Bungalows and Bears has been a staple for good food, good drink and good music for over a decade.
FirePit Rocks brings the classic American ‘dive bar’ concept to the streets of Sheffield, with live sports, gaming booths, rock’n’roll, quality drinks and the finest BBQ dishes to keep the good times rolling.
Occupying the former gent’s toilet below the grade-1 listed Victorian town hall, Public is a stunning little haven of fine drinks and delicious food - or as it was once described: "...Wes Anderson train carriage crowbarred into an old bog".
The Cremorne, London Road, is an early nineteenth century pub. As a former coaching house, the pub features a gated archway to the side and more buildings to the rear. A busy, friendly pub at the heart of London Road with a great range of real ales and drinks as well as fab pizzas.
One of Sheffield's many independent bars on Division Street in the centre of town, The Green Room is a weekend staple but with plenty happening in the week too. Great drinks, food and music, in a laid back atmosphere.
The Greystones is a welcoming, traditional community pub where people of all ages can enjoy a great range of drinks in comfortable surroundings, as well as see fantastic music and other events.
