Groups

A brilliant city for that long-needed weekend away with your mates, Sheffield's size means there's loads to go at, but it's not so big that getting around becomes a mission - plus as The Outdoor City there's tonnes of adventure to be had.

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.

Blacka Moor - deer & moorland in the city

The moorland in and around south-western Sheffield acts as a link between the city itself and the wider Peak District National Park. Much of this vast space, that lies within the city boundary, is in public or charitable ownership and as such is accessible and well-maintained and has vast species of flora and fauna, including red deer.

Summer events

Summer 2025 is looking like a busy one for Sheffield, with major music festivals, sporting events, vibrant outdoor markets and family entertainment.
