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.

Visit

Centrally located in South Yorkshire, Sheffield is the UK's greenest city, where nature and vibrant culture seamlessly intertwine. Search for things to do, places to go and find out what's on, to make the most of your visit.

Mountain biking

Head straight out to the UK’s only inner-city mountain bike trail at Parkwood Springs, take in some big views and berms at Lady Cannings Plantation or venture north to Sheffield's Greno Woods for some technical trails through the trees. Beyond the city boundary, a whole network of trails and bridleways will take you into the heart of the stunning Peak District National Park.

About The Economic Recovery Fund in Sheffield

The Economic Recovery Fund supported local businesses and organisations to get people visiting and spending money in their neighbourhoods. That meant anything from delivering events for businesses to connect with customers; creating exciting new features to draw people in; making the high street a nicer place to spend time; or something completely different. Solutions are designed by local people for local people, using their insight into what would work on their high street.
