The Cathedral is Sheffield's oldest building, the ancient heart of a great city, where God has been worshipped for over a thousand years. It has watched Sheffield grow and develop over the centuries, and it tells a story - of great women and men, of wars, of industry and commerce, and of the people who have lived in Sheffield. Here people have prayed, made music, offered hospitality and cared for the poor, as they do still today. The building reflects its many uses, with the traditional worship spaces including the grand high altar and the quiet crypt chapel, but also the busy conference centre, and the Archer Project area where the homeless and vulnerable find what they need Here every visitor will find something to interest them. You can book a special visit, or just call in and explore. You may find that a service is happening, in which case you can join in or not as you choose. Everyone is invited - Sheffield Cathedral is a place for all people. We are open every day of the year.

Lovely cathedral which is a great spot in Sheffield city centre. As a local of 28 years, I spent my first afternoon taking a look inside. It’s brilliant. Yea, there are some better cathedrals to see around the world, but the beauty of this being in Sheffield more than makes up for it. A must visit for anyone coming to Sheffield. Check out the fence of swords!

Being interested in engineering, i visited the Arts Tower of Sheffield University to see one of the few working Paternoster lift in existence. Its not really a tourist attraction being situated in a university building, the staff don't mind you having a look or riding the lift. Arrived at 08:30 and it wasn't working, but speaking with a member of staff, she said it only works when the porters are on duty, and come 08:45 it was up and running - in fact i was the first person on that morning, riding up in one of the cages to the 18th floor for impressive city views through the design offices. Then the equally impressive ride down, through care must be taken getting off the lift! From the outside, the university building is non-descript, but hiding inside is a true marvel of engineering!
