Don’t go thinking that Sheffield’s a bit of a relic though. There’s a ton of family pursuits and stacks of exciting events all year round, from the Science Adventure Centre at Magna in nearby Rotherham to the giant Meadowhall shopping centre. The Lyceum, the Crucible, several major galleries and a host of other venues provide constant visitor attractions across the city. Eating out is a real treat, whether it’s a Michelin Star restaurant, a gastro pub or a country inn. One thing Sheffield doesn’t lack is choice on the menu, and it’s served up in a quite impressive and attractive city centre.
If you’ve heard of ABC, Pulp or the Arctic Monkeys you’ll probably know that the city has a vibrant music culture. It’s fuelled by a young population with a big student influence, and the inevitable effect has been a demand for higher quality entertainment spots and the entertainment that goes with them. Good news for the residents, and equally good for the visitor too. In a word, Sheffield’s cool.
