Public Consultation for redevelopment of 2 Haymarket, Sheffield, into S1 Artspace cultural hubThis event begins 24/10/25 and repeats every day forever
Public Consultation Announced to Shape the Future S1 Artspace - Arts Charity Set to Begin a New Chapter in Former Haymarket Yorkshire Bank, Sheffield.
S1 Artspace is inviting local residents art lovers and heritage enthusiasts to view and have their say on its plans to transform the former Yorkshire Bank on Haymarket, Sheffield, into an ambitious new cultural venue.
A public consultation and exhibition will take place on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th October inside the Grade II Listed building in Castlegate. For many, this will be the first opportunity in over a decade to step inside the historic Victorian landmark and view its proposed transformation from derelict bank to vibrant cultural hub.
THE CONSULTATION:
Location: Former Yorkshire Bank, 2 Haymarket, Castlegate, Sheffield, S1 2AT
Dates: Friday 24th and Saturday 25th October
Times: 1100 – 1500
Drop-in event - no booking required
Visitors to the consultation will be able to:
Step inside the building itself – some of its original features and character are visible.
View the architects' plans and a 3D model of the building.
Meet the project team, including architects Carmody Groarke and S1 Project staff.
Share your views on the proposals to help to shape the final designs.
Input from the consultation will inform S1 Artspace’s planning application due to be submitted to Sheffield City Council in early 2026.
BACKGROUND: Built in 1871 as Sheffield's Head General Post Office, the sandstone building has witnessed the city's own evolution - serving as the Sheffield Stock Exchange for over 50 years, before becoming a Yorkshire Bank branch until 2014.
Founded by Sheffield artists in 1995, S1 Artspace has championed contemporary art for over 30 years – but until now, never had a permanent home in the city. Having supported more than 250 artists through its studios and presented nationally recognised exhibitions, the transformation of the former Yorkshire Bank marks S1’s first owned space, securing a sustainable future for the charity to continue championing contemporary art in Sheffield for generations to come.
Initial designs by architects Carmody Groarke will restore this landmark building and repurpose it as the organisation's first permanent home - complete with soaring public galleries across two historic floors, workspace for artists and creatives in the city, a gallery shop showcasing local artists and makers, and an independent basement bar.
