From Cow to Conference

‘The hospitality industry has changed greatly post-pandemic’ says Deborah Tillbrook, ‘Not only did Covid 19 make the distribution & serving of food very different, but it also galvanised the pace of sustainability advancements within the industry.'

Castlegate and Victoria Quays

Thanks to the Grey to Green project, use of meanwhile spaces, and inventive creations from markets to skateboard areas, Castlegate is seeing a total transformation.

The art of climbing

Sheffield inspires the development of one of the fastest growing sports in the world. From the roots of UK rock climbing in the 1880s, through to creating the routes for the inaugural climbing event at the Olympic Games 2020. We are 'home' for the originators of the sport, current Team GB Climbing athletes, designers and manufacturers, making us the Climbing Capital of the UK.
