LEISURE & CULTURE

Sheffield’s leisure & cultural offer has an international reputation. It’s where the great outdoors meets the great indoors…

Our Leisure & Cultural Offer

Heart of the City will add to the existing leisure & cultural offer, creating new space for competitive socialising & over night stay experiences. Radisson Blu’s 154 room hotel overlooking the Peace Gardens has joined the line up and an additional hotel opportunity will be potentially included in future phases to bring the total amount of rooms up to 250.


Cambridge Street Collective, Bethel Chapel & Leah’s Yard (Block H) will form the cultural heart of the development - a series of connected buildings & spaces, encouraging social interaction, creativity & artistic expression. There will be space for studios, galleries & exhibitions, food & drink, concerts & live performance. Heart of the City will help Sheffield realise its 24 hour economy.

We are developing Pound’s Park, a new urban park for Sheffield, creating green and open spaces to enhance wellbeing, to meet the needs & expectations of city life.

Outdoor Activities in Sheffield

The outdoors… well it is the outdoor city, the Peak District is on your doorstep for walking, fell running, climbing, mountain biking & an array of pursuits.


It’s a sports city with national training centres & facilities, as well as an Olympic legacy venue (the only city to achieve this without hosting the games)

Sheffield is the home of football. Other than the high flying Blades & for balance, the mighty Wednesday, the city is also home to the oldest football club (Sheffield F.C) & the rules of the beautiful game.

However, not all sports are an outdoor pursuit – the Snooker World Championships at The Crucible in Tudor Square (a 5 minute walk from Heart of the City) bring millions of pounds of revenue to the city every year, along with a global audience of over 285 million.

A 15 minute drive To the peak District National park

A short drive or a good walk from the city centre, a third of the city sits within the Peak District National Park, which makes Sheffield one of England’s greenest cities.

Our cultural reputation is further enhanced by our International documentary & literary festivals - Doc Fest & Off the Shelf - & we still haven’t mentioned the music scene, museums, botanical gardens, art galleries, cinemas & maker studios – all of which make Sheffield an active & creative city.
