Sheffield’s soaring…
With the Arctic Monkeys topping the music charts and Sheffield United Football Club back in the premiership it’s an exciting time in Sheffield. And the city’s increasing popularity for conferences and corporate hospitality cannot be underestimated.
With more than £250 million of current investment into the conference product alone, Sheffield enjoys one of the strongest conference infrastructures in Yorkshire. The city has earned a worldwide reputation for its innovation and creativity as an industrial power and today, it is equally proud of the growth and diversity of its cultural assets.
Accessibility is a key attribute. Sheffield has a central position within the UK with an enviable proximity to the Peak National Park. Access is easy by road (M1, M18, M62, A1), rail and air (Manchester International and Robin Hood Doncaster-Sheffield). What’s more, a £52 million gateway to the city project has meant major investment into the city’s train station. The 2 ¼ hour train journey from London is further improved with the completion of the Sheffield platform within the developments at St Pancras Station.
More than just a great venue...
Build leadership and initiative skills in the stunning Peak District. The Peak National Park is a great backdrop for team building events or a wonderful escape for a social programme.
Why not take in the thrills and spills of a competitive ice hockey game or maybe hit the slopes at Europe’s largest all-season ski village? Or better still, dip into Sheffield’s portfolio of world class events – from championship swimming and ice dancing to our annual comedy festival, from international athletics to world snooker…the list is endless.
And to round things off? Relax in the city's unique Victorian Turkish Bath complex, or one of our luxurious hotel spas.
‘Just over the border’...
Investment continues into many venues including Doncaster Racecourse, home to the famous St Leger and also at Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport. The awesome Magna, situated just six miles from the centre of Sheffield and half a mile from the M1 celebrates winning gold in the business tourism category in the ‘Enjoy England Awards for Excellence’ with a £2.7 million corporate development including new exhibition space, additional catering space and flexible syndicate facilities.
