What to do in Sheffield 

With its industrial heritage dating back to the 1900s, this city of steel has a heart of gold surrounded by fields of green. These days Sheffield is alive with innovation, boasting a thriving independent cultural scene of food, drink and the arts while still paying homage to their steel roots.

Kelham Island Museum pays tribute to Sheffield’s industrial past, aptly set on a man-made island in the oldest industrial quarter. The museum showcases the innovation of industry in the town through a number of collections of machinery, tools, equipment and more that date back from the 1700s. 

Bishop’s House is a 16th century listed building and a living time capsule. Free to visit, the house is a museum that can be enjoyed by all ages and is also a host to various events and activities throughout the year.

Staying more than a day? Why not stay in a houseboat! Available all year round, the boats are heated, fully equipped and permanently moored in a waterfront location just 5 minutes from the city centre.

Sheffield also has a great number of independent shops for those who want something a bit more special. If you are a lover of vintage, the Antiques Quarter is a fantastic place to browse for the day with various tea rooms, bars and cafes to put your feet up after a successful haul.
