Sheffield

What you need to know before you go

    Sheffield might be known as Steel City, but Music City may be more appropriate for the place that's seen the birth of Pulp, Def Leppard and the Arctic Monkeys. Its not just about Indie music though. At the Sheffield Arena and 02 Academy, you can shake your thing with the locals to the eclectic sounds of hip hop and pop.

    Not your thing? Fear not. Sheffield didn't reach the shortlist for UK City of Culture for no reason. You can nab tickets for Tudor Square, the UK's largest theatreland outside London, drop into one of the city's large art galleries or marvel at the Sheffield Winter Gardens.
