More about Sheffield
Today, Sheffield has many visitor attractions, and that’s in part because of the age of the city itself. Settled in the 12th century, Sheffield grew over the years into an agricultural hub in Britain. Eventually it would begin to specialise in steel production, which would earn it the nickname of the Steel City.
And now, there’s much more to do than just learn about this rich history. Visit one of the two Sheffield football stadiums, Bramall Lane or Hillsborough, on a match day or watch from the comfort of one of our pubs. Or, perhaps you’re more interested in botanical gardens where you can learn about plant life from around the globe and Sheffield’s famous bear pit.
Not to mention the art and history packed into the city. From the Millenium Gallery to the Weston park Museum, there’s culture to consume on every corner.
And once you’re done, there’ll be a Greene King pub waiting for you, offering the perfect spot to unwind and reflect on the day's adventures.
