If peace and tranquility is not for you, then the city of Sheffield will have plenty to offer.
Casino's, Cinemas, Restaurants, Clubs, Theatres, Hotels ... its all there ... and more.
Sheffield is based in the North of the UK and is near to Meadowhall shopping centre.
Sheffield is knowns for its participation in the Steel industry, and Sheffield steel is still highly regarded as being the best quality steel.
Sheffield has 2 of the best Universities in the UK, and has a wide selection of shops in the city centre, in local surrounding areas, at Meadowhall and at various other shopping complexes to cater for everyone.
The sports facilities in Sheffield are World class. We have Olympic gold medalists here :)
UK Snooker legends grace the Crucible each year.
The city centre does also host craft and food fairs during December. Well worth a visit, but its best to check your information first, so you can book your hotel with plenty of time to spare. Who needs New York .... ?
You can get to Sheffield if you head North up the M1 from the direction of London, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Nottingham, Derby and you will see Sheffield signposted.
If you are heading South from Newcastle Upon Tyne, then head past Leeds and Bradford down the M1 right to Sheffield.
Sheffield has a vibrant creative scene, and boasts several music studios and talented artists. Sheffield has a strong creative culture, and you will find many people who study and appreciate art and creative meadia such as film. Sheffield has several Art Galleries and plenty of inspiration to create art.
Sheffield has a wide range of cultures, and the many shops and
restaurants in Sheffield would make anyone feel at home, from any part
of the world.
There are even plenty of lovely parks in Sheffield if you want to
relax, and there may be a nice change for the kids in store at one of
the parks in Sheffield.
I will post a review later about the parks which
are open to the public in Sheffield, list any events that you may be
interested in attending and also list suggestions for fun days out throughout the year.
Sheffield does even have 24 hour supermarkets, so if you have a car,
and need urgent food and drinks, you will have no problems with last
minute shopping trips.
Don't worry if you have not got a
car, Sheffield caters for Students travelling by Bus and Tram, and
there are plenty of shops open until late fairly near to where you may
live or stay.
Or you could order a Taxi ... Sheffield has plenty of "Black Cab" taxis. They are similar to London taxis.
Getting around should be pretty easy.
Sheffield people are friendly, and there are really good times to be had.
I hope you are loving the blog so far, any comments would be welcome :)
