Sheffield and the wider South Yorkshire region is now home to 58 breweries, more per head of population than anywhere else in the country, producing around 1,800 different beers every year.
We are known all over the world as a leading centre for engineering research, advanced manufacturing (or 2.0, as some call it), light weight technologies and specialist materials - and, perhaps most importantly, having the knowledge and skills base from our Universities to excel in prototyping and R&D too.
We have 61% greenspace within our borders, we have more trees per person than any other city in Europe, we have over 800 managed greenspaces across 4,000 hectares of land, and it’s recently coming to light that we have more peatland bog than any other city too (which tops the charts for carbon capture). These facts are a source of great pride, but come with a duty to look after what we have.
We’re really proud of our high-quality venues and hotels which offer something a bit different to the usual suspects. They all have a distinctively Sheffield flavour. With 2000 bedrooms within 10 minutes’ walk of our central venues all tastes and budgets are catered for.
Looking to balance your outdoor lifestyle with the buzz of a thriving city? Make yourself at home here, amongst our famously friendly hills.
"Bolehills forever" is a phrase passed around between people who have spent any length of time riding the expertly-shaped golden limescale mounds of the track transformed by Sheffield’s community.
Opus is a social enterprise with a portfolio of many projects – from print publishing to live events to innovative digital platforms and a whole host of things that fall between.
Climbing, mountain biking, road cycling, running, walking - we've got some of the best in the world. Seriously. But it's also about how liveable it is here. Green and blue spaces combine to form 61% greenspace (the highest percentage of any city in the world) in the 4th biggest city in England. Which is why we say this is the place where nature and culture intertwine.
