Sheffield high streets to receive £865,000 investment

Sheffield City Council has announced further projects which will be supported by its Economic Recovery Fund, an innovative and unique grant set up to support businesses following the Covid-19 pandemic.

The pioneering city of electronic music

There are few cities in the world as synonymous with electronic music as Sheffield. For half a century the city has been producing a steady stream of game-changing music that has gone on to impact and shape the way electronic music sounds all across the world.

Amici and Bici Case Study

Julian Gjini bought his café on Abbeydale Road when there were hardly any thriving businesses in the area, and has watched the independent business community grow to the point where Tesco is almost the only chain store on the street.

Liam O'Shea

These enhancements range from practical additions like bins, benches, and planters to transformative elements such as parklets, shopfront upgrades, and even a green living wall—all funded through ERF support.

Visit

Centrally located in South Yorkshire, Sheffield is the UK's greenest city, where nature and vibrant culture seamlessly intertwine. Search for things to do, places to go and find out what's on, to make the most of your visit.

DocFest

Widely recognised as one of the best documentary festivals in the world, DocFest has been held in Sheffield annually since 1994. The festival presents a vast programme of film screenings, exhibitions, industry events and more.

Get Together

Get Together - as the name suggests - is a friendly affair. It's about having a great time discovering new music whilst meeting some great people, and also getting to have some tasty food and drink from local producers while you're at it. It's about ditching the attitude that can come with music sometimes, about letting yourself go, and coming together at the same time.
