Venue Yorkshire - Yorkshire Tourist Board

Sheffield is not just England's fourth City, it's our greenest city too.  Enjoying a renaissance at the forefront of the creative and digital industries, it offers an impressive portfolio of attrations and venues.  Kerrie Hudson of Conference Yorkshire South talks to us about the Steel City.

 

“Events like World Snooker and the International Documentary Festival demonstrate the calibre of world class events the city is hosting. This year we also welcomed the International Indian Film Academy Awards and UK Corporate Games. There’s excellent variety in Sheffield, from hi-tech to palatial, and there’s a real buzz in the city as it reaps the rewards of recent investment. And it’s so accessible by road, rail and air, it’s hard to beat”

 

Thanks to Sheffield’s recent history in hosting events, purpose-built space abounds. The colossal Don Valley Stadium and Ponds Forge both accommodate large numbers with plenty of breakout space, and opportunities for team building using their fantastic sporting facilities. Hallam FM arena is the largest venue in Yorkshire for glittering banquets.
