What to see and do in Sheffield
Sheffield is the famous city situated in the heartland of South Yorkshire. Renowned for its industry and sporting prowess, this proud northern icon is a cornerstone in the formation of modern Britain.
Sheffield is a city rich in history, which is exhibited wonderfully in one of the many museums that litter the city centre. Easily accessible by train, bus or tram, these attractions are an ideal way to spend an afternoon without breaking the bank.
Sheffield has a perhaps unrivalled association with sport in the UK, home of some of the premier venues in the country. Prior to the world student games in 1991, the cities governors engineered a major project to develop an array of new stadiums and facilities to cater for the event. This saw the emergence of Ponds Forge – home to Team GB’s swimmers, The Don Valley Stadium – the home to a collection of sporting events, currently harbouring Rotherham United and The Crucible – The setting for the annual world snooker championships.
However, it is not only simply the architecture that dominates sport in the city. In United and Wednesday, Sheffield has two of the oldest clubs in the football league, both now competing in the second tier of English domestic football. Bramall Lane and Hillsborough are large stadiums often sparing a few seats to tourists ready to absorb some football on a Saturday afternoon.
A major city in the formulation of the modern UK, Sheffield has a long association with pop culture. The city has played host to the emergence of some of the most talented bands in recent history. Although it was home to chart-topping acts such as Human League and Def Leppard, perhaps most famous residents, are The Artic Monkeys. Alex Turner and co began their journey to the top grazing around the local music venues, before going on to produce the quickest selling album in British history.
The heartbeat of South Yorkshire, Sheffield is full of attractions to cater to the entire family. The Millennium Galleries are the destination for art lovers, open daily exhibiting famous modern works. A short journey from here is the Sheffield Arena, which hosts some of today’s most famous bands and music performers. However, if music and art simply isn’t your thing, then why not hit the shops at one of the largest malls in the UK. Meadowhall sits on the outskirts of the city, brimming with all your high-street favourites.
