Shopping

Sheffield’s authentic and independent spirit is reflected in its retail and there are several areas of the city where clusters of independent shops have grown to become quirky shopping districts in their own right.

The Howard

The Howard is a great local pub inside and out, with a fantastic Tudor exterior and an inviting and family friendly welcome inside. Based on Howard Street in Sheffield, we attract students, shoppers, lovers of live music and football fans amongst others. It is the perfect place to come and grab some tasty pub food with friends, and in the evening the Howard becomes a lively venue, taken over by DJs and regular live music.

Tabby Tea's Cat Cafe

A cafe with a proper difference, Tabby Teas house permanent feline residents, who are all rescue cats. Their aim is to provide a relaxing and calming environment for both customers and cats to enjoy each other's company. Whether you are coming with a group of friends, or venturing by yourself for some kitty cuddles, we're sure you'll have the purr-fect time.

Hillsborough Golf Club

Founded in 1920, Hillsborough Golf Club is renowned as being one of the best in the North of England. Set in the beautiful hills of Sheffield, the course gives some truly fantastic panoramic views over the Steel City. At 6254 yards off the White Tees and 5544 yards from Ladies Tees, it may not be one of the longest but is a true test of your skills.

Utilita Arena Sheffield

The Arena in the Attercliffe area of Sheffield hosts the worlds most legendary musical superstars & the world's biggest sporting greats, from trophy winning Sheffield Steelers to boxing world title fights and music performers like Katy Perry and Oasis. The Arena has also hosted some more unusual events, from the likes of Cybermen marching through the audience at Doctor Who The Live Tour to 20 life-sized dinosaurs roaming the Arena floor in Walking With Dinosaurs.

Homely Apartments - Figtree

If you are looking for City Centre living then Figtree House couldn't be better positioned for you, situated off the main streets on a cobbled lane, yet only a short stroll from the Cathedral, and the shopping precinct of Fargate.
