Does anyone know of any halls for hire in Sheffield suitable for holding a ceilidh in? For those unsure, ceilidh basically involves live music with people dancing to it, so plenty of dancefloor space is necessary and a stage would be ideal but not essential.

The ideal first-choice venue is the Royal Society for the Blind's hall on Mappin Street, but it's not going to be there for that much longer. For anyone who knows it, something similar is what I'm looking for. The event I'm thinking of organising would be early March next year (St David's day - or thereabouts - ceilidh, for those who are interested in such things) so it's safer to assume that it won't be there by then and look for an alternative venue. It will be a public event, so the building would need to either have its own entertainments licence or be suitable for us to obtain one to hold an event there.

Ideally I'd like somewhere in or near the city centre, or maybe in Crookes/Walkley/Hillsborough direction, or just generally easy to find/get to. Any ideas considered though, as there don't seem to be many of these kind of venues about!

Have you tried the St Phillips club in Netherthorpe? They host all sorts of activities and they're relatively cheap, on the tram route and have acres of parking space.

Alternatively, try the Trades & Labour Club on Talbot Street off City Road.

Not sure if its the right size room for you or the locations but you could try contacting Mick at the Railway cub on Farm Road near to the Ice skates, the now have two newley refurbished function rooms for hire.
close to town centre and supertram stops close by as well.
just thought of another one the gas club at Hillsborough might be good as they have a stage and a large room, but it is upstairs ok for most people but not always for the band.
