There’s something going on in Sheffield… Find out more about the Steel City’s range of venues that could be the perfect location for your next event.
Sheffield is quickly becoming a leading destination for events and conferences, offering a diverse range of world-class venues that can cater to every taste and occasion. By the end of 2024, the doors to many new venues and hotels were firmly open, making way for what is going to be a big year for Sheffield in 2025. The 12-month countdown has begun to one of the largest events the city has ever hosted – the European Figure Skating Championships – which will be happening from 12th to 18th January 2026. Here are just a few highlights from the Steel City.
Cambridge Street Collective
Cambridge Street Collective is the largest purpose build food hall in Europe and winner of Best UK Foodhall 2024; it’s a runaway success. A food destination and social hub over three levels, it’s complete with over 24 kitchens, rooftop bars, a cookery school, and first-class accessibility that makes it a game changer for networking events. Run by foodie entrepreneurs, Blend Family, it combines variety and vibrancy with its social enterprise helping the most vulnerable in society.
Radisson Blu
The stunning Radisson Blu Hotel is open for business with an enviable location overlooking the Peace Gardens. Event organisers will love its restored Victorian architecture, stunning bar with spectacular views and 154 bedrooms as well as its events suite which has a 280-delegate capacity over six rooms.
DoubleTree by Hilton Sheffield City
The DoubleTree by Hilton Sheffield City hotel is another firm favourite. The 155-room hotel includes a penthouse suite, a fitness centre, and five event spaces for up to 300 delegates. On-site parking, a very glamorous and specious bar, and a networking area also come as standard.
99 Mary Street
If you’re looking for post-industrial elegance, Sheffield will not disappoint. 99 Mary Street with its stripped brick walls inspires both presenter and presented-to. For events of up to 50 delegates, it’s proving popular for all-day meets and half-day meets for presentations, fashion shoots, live concerts, and cocktail parties. It’s also extremely accessible; all within a stone’s throw of the train station.
The Victoria
Excitement is also building around The Victoria – the third venue offering from the successful owners of The Chimney House and The Mowbray. The conversion of a 19th century industrial works and chapel will create what the team call their ‘ultimate reuse project’. Expect reclaimed treasures and repurposed items mixed with solar energy and a commitment to sustainability that can accommodate up to 500 delegates. Guests will also be able to experience The Victoria’s concept of ‘Spectacular Eating’ from Head Chef, Emma Tophill-Reed.
Green Estate
If an idyllic countryside setting minutes from the city centre is what your event demands, then the Green Estate delivers for up to 60 delegates. Sitting at the entrance to Sheffield Manor Lodge’s Tudor ruins, it is surrounded by meadows and fantastic views over Sheffield. Corporate workshops include woodland craft and nature photography.
New investments
The Utilita Arena and Sheffield City Hall have joined the family of venues at ASM Global – Europe. The new operators will oversee a new chapter for two of Sheffield’s best loved venues as they look ahead to an exciting future with investment and improvement works already underway. Refurbished rooms and leisure facilities are now available at the waterside Quays Hotel and another food hall favourite, Kommune, is currently refurbishing its lofty and expansive urban space.
