Selling Sheffield

Sheffield City Council has a Tourist Information section and on the council's website this is how they introduce our city:-

Sheffield is a great place to be…you’ll soon realise why we’re so proud of our city. We just love it.

What’s more, we’re pretty sure you will too. Electrifying entertainment, exciting events and astounding attractions are bound to get you hooked.

Or maybe you’ll fall for our parks and woodlands. After all, we’re five miles from the glorious scenery of the Peak National Park.

You’re certain to find something to tempt you here in Sheffield…even if it’s just the warm Yorkshire welcome…
