The Sheffield Round Walk is a 15-mile loop from the urban to the rural at the southwestern edges of the city – taking in leafy parkland, woodland streams, and pretty suburbs.
Discover the secrets of one of the UK’s most likeable cities – and why it might just be your ideal destination. You might be excused for thinking that we fly a little under the radar of other northern metropolises. But the city has long been quietly reinventing itself as the northern capital of cool.
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 son of a legendary Sheffield designer, Corin tells us what the city means to him.
"The best thing about being a student at University of Sheffield for me truly is the diversity and inclusivity that has been created. There is a place here for everyone no matter where you are from. The student community is strong and full of different and unique voices and I know for a fact that this beautiful environment is a rare find and I am so blessed to study here."
Hangingwater Studio is a working artists’ studio found in Fulton’s Yard, a part of the Victorian workshops on Nether Green Road.
On the first two weekend of May each year, Open Up gives people the opportunity to visit artists, creatives, studios and inventive people at the places where they work in neighbourhoods across the city and beyond.
Whilst originally made famous for its traditional climbs, the boulders that sit beneath Stanage Edge are packed with a quality and history all of their own.
Several purpose-built climbing boulders have popped up all over the city in recent years. Built to closely mimic the natural boulders and slabs found out in the Peak District, these public facilities offer a convenient and fun opportunity for novices and experts alike to work on their technique – all for free.
Your next weekend away? Make the most of your time and combine the great outdoors with bustling suburbs, foodie delights, world class theatre and more in Sheffield.
