aligel Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I was at the Cathedral tram stop yesterday, and two tourists asked me what was good to see in Sheffield, where they should go - they'd already 'done' the city centre. I was slightly stumped...I love Sheffield, but it's one of those places where there's maybe not a lot to do if you're a tourist and want to go sightseeing. So what would other forummers have recommended? I managed to put them off going to Meadowhell or Hyde Park ("It's not like London's"), although the tram journey out that way is pretty good for views.

saxon51 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'd have directed them to the Barnsley bus stop, and told them it goes to a Wizard of Oz theme park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carcrash Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'd have sent them to Sheffield Zoo/castle market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'd have told them to go to the Millennium Galleries and winter gardens- it's a lovely way to pass a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coretext Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Look at this thread. I basically asked the same question as you. I am a University student and live locally. New students often ask me what can I do in Sheffield. The conversation isn't usually very long, so I need some help. Perhaps your post will help. http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=143770 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mod_Man Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Endcliffe park , Sharrow cemetery, Kelham island and Ski village. it took me a while just to think of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Peak District and everything therein. I love Sheffield but it's not exactly Disneyland. If you find some REALLY obnoxious tourists, then some time ago there was a thread full of useful suggestions that seemed to revolve around suggestions that might get people a trip to our Hospitals or Police Cells.

aligel Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Aw, they were very nice tourists! I suggested they hang out in Broomhill or Hunters Bar...but forgot to mention the Botanical Gardens - doh! Coretext: That little museum by the church on Ecclesall Road, next to the Porter Brook pub, is really good, but it's only open about once a month. All the art galleries are also good - Weston Park re-opens soon... Maybe i should have just sent them to tourist information - where is that now?
