"One of Sheffield's most famous theatres and well-known for hosting the World Snooker Championships, of course. The Crucible is an iconic building and a Sheffield-themed Insta would be lost without it."
"The Crucible and Lyceum Theatres are also scheduled to reopen this month, and The Together Season Festival is set to run between May 24 and June 5, and features thirteen works from local artists; curated by a panel of artists, audience members and theatre representatives. You can get a discount if you book three, five or all of the shows together. Please visit: https://www.sheffieldtheatres.co.uk/ for more information"
"Proudly standing in the heart of this spa town is Buxton Opera House. Designed by celebrated theatre architect Frank Matcham, it opened amidst great celebration on 1st June 1903. You can still enjoy year-round live performances here and it’s always worth checking online to see what’s on."
"Yes, Buxton has one of its own, designed by Frank Matcham no less, with a busy and varied programme. Next week there’ll be performances of The Tiger Who Came to Tea, hot from the West End."
"Sheffield City Hall is one of the city’s historical landmarks, sitting in a city square called Barker’s Pool. The building still features damage from a WWII bomb that exploded in the square. Today, the Hall is a venue for events and concerts and houses the largest organ in Sheffield."
"The building of the Dancehouse Theatre has had a fascinating history full of transformation, morphing from meeting halls to a multi-screen cinema complex. In the 1990s it was restored to its former Art Deco splendour and was reopened as The Dancehouse Theatre, home to the Northern Ballet School. While the venue presents a broad range of performances including comedy, music and drama, dance lies at the heart of this North West icon."
"The first public events will return to the Stoller Hall from June 7. Shows will be socially-distanced with reduced capacities initially, but there are hopes that it will be back to near-full capacity by September. See more and book tickets at stollerhall.com/whats-on."
"The Stoller Hall is situated in the heart of Manchester and offers a personal live music experience that puts you closer to the music. The concert hall delivers a programme including classical, folk and jazz music, as well as spoken word and comedy."
"Using a mixture of local, regional and international collaborators, the centre aims to nurture artistic talent and to support the development of contermporary art. In 2012–13 three of the Site's…"
"Like Contemporary Six, Generation also offers the Own Art scheme. Artworks range from under £100, to a whopping £49,000, with bestsellers including Kerry Darlington’s fantastical resin creations and JJ Adams’ subversive celebrity depictions. Whether you’re a serious collector, or simply after a quirky piece for your home, you’d do well do beat it."
"Shepherd Wheel, Whiteley Woods, Off Hangingwater Road, S11 2YE. Open Saturday-Sunday and bank holiday Monday 10am-4pm (summer) / 11am-3pm (winter). Check updated opening hours in June 2021"
"Selection of fresh mouthwatering pastries and very friendly staffs. This is somewhere I would like to visit again. 24/04/2021: Popped in for coffee and cake whilst our son was kayaking."
"The cakes, OMG the cakes at Butterfingers are simply the best. They always have an epic selection of treats. Cakes, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, scones and so much more."
"This cute little café is located very close to home, in Sheffield Hallam university on Howard Street!. Offering a quaint, relaxed atmosphere, HowSt café has a delicious range of breakfasts and brunches available to fill your belly. We’d recommend booking if you need a seat downstairs, because this place can get seriously busy due to its serious popularity, but believe us when we say, you won’t be disappointed."
"A Sheffield staple for over ten years, HowSt knows that the key to any good brunch is good food, and so this is what they provide through their classic brunch offerings. HowSt offers traditional brunch items like royale eggs florentine or their ‘weekend meaty’ (think a full English) every weekend. For an hour and a half, you can also enjoy bottomless prosecco or lager, or upgrade to bottomless cocktails."
"A small independent cafe in the centre of Sheffield, HowSt is particularly well known to Sheffield Hallam students, with the venue very close to the heart of the city centre campus. You can find it just a stone’s throw from the station. Chocolate brownies and vanilla-themed cake are just a couple of examples of the sweet treats the venue offers."
