Park Hill has been a visible landmark on the Sheffield skyline for over 60 years. It is considered of international importance due to being the first built example of external access decks (known as Streets in the Sky) and was awarded Grade II* listing in 1998. There followed a regeneration scheme, the first phase being shortlisted for the Stirling prize for architecture in 2013, which continues today. It is also culturally prominent, having featured in film, tv, music, artworks and on stage.

Join a resident-led 90 minute tour to walk the Streets in the Sky. Your guide will take you through the history of Park Hill, exploring the inspirations behind its design as well as its architectural concepts and distinctive details. Along the way, you’ll hear about the people who played a part in its story and gain insight into what life here is like today. There will also be an opportunity to see inside a renovated flat.  A spring or summer visit is the perfect time to see our gardens in bloom and to take in the spectacular views over the city and into the countryside beyond.

Basil is not happy when the Hotel is booked by Simon Cowell for several Tribute acts, due to the Hotel they originally booked having to close due to a boiler failure.
Hear Abba sing like you never had before, be amazed by Tommy Cooper, Ken Dodd will have you tickled pink, Austin Powers is feeling Groovy, Elvis is in the room and Eric Morecombe will Bring you Sunshine.
All the above together with Basil, Sybil and Manuel at their very best, this will exercise chuckle muscles you never knew you had!
