Things to do in Sheffield

Sheffield is famous for many things - its industrial craftsmanship that shaped the world, musicians that have entertained on global stages; two internationally renowned Universities, its Olympic medal winning athletes… all of which you’ve probably heard of. Less famous, but no less important, is our claim to fame for having the most green spaces of any European city. That’s why Sheffield is also known as The Outdoor City. Walking around you’ll soon find what makes Sheffield special. With an array of independent restaurants, bars and micro-breweries, along with live music, street art, exhibitions and a vibrant event scene, there’s lots to explore and more to keep you entertained.
