The city’s international reputation was forged on its steel industry but despite such a proud industrial heritage it has also became one of the greenest cities in the country as was acknowledged by poet John Betjeman.
And as the stage is set with fantastic theatres including The Lyceum and The Crucible, the city has always given rise to great actors including Sean Bean and Michael Palin, as well as musical performers including the Human League, Joe Cocker, and the Arctic Monkey and many more.
It also boasts the world’s first football team with Sheffield Football Club and with such a heritage that no doubt inspired the popular professional city clubs, EFL Championship side Sheffield United, and EFL League One team Sheffield Wednesday who both attract tens of thousands of supporters.
Whatever reasons spring to mind one thing everyone will agree is that you’ll find no warmer welcome than in a city that has one of the highest retention rates for outside visitors who end up happily setting home in and around our famous seven hills.
