Sheffield is a great city, full of events, activities and places to see \u2013 and although the weather gets cold, there\u2019s still plenty to do here. So here\u2019s my five things not to be missed in Sheffield in winter!<\/p>\n

5) Peddler Night Market<\/p>\n

Peddler Night Market is a monthly event held over in Kelham Island, that showcases the very best food and drink in Sheffield. Tie this in with live music from local DJ\u2019s and bands \u2013 you\u2019ve got yourself the perfect night! There really is something for everyone at Peddler’s, with food from just about every cuisine, and at reasonable prices, you have to go!<\/p>\n

4) Take in some culture<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s freezing outside, it\u2019s the perfect time to visit the many museums and art galleries that Sheffield has to offer. See the history of Sheffield at Weston Park Museum (only a 10-minute walk from the Management School) or catch the fantastic exhibitions shown at Millennium Gallery and the Graves Gallery. All of these have free entry, and let you take in some real Sheffield culture! If museums and art galleries aren’t your cup of tea, why not catch a film at the Showroom Cinema, which showcases everything from current blockbusters to foreign films and old favourites.<\/p>\n

3) Winter Gardens<\/p>\n

Sheffield\u2019s Winter Garden is located right in the centre of the city, near St Paul\u2019s place, and holds more than 2,500 plants from around the world. In winter, the garden is particularly useful to take refuge from the winter weather when you’re fed up with Christmas shopping. Simply dive in and enjoy a coffee and a relaxing walk around the greenhouse.<\/p>\n

2) Meadowhall<\/p>\n

Meadowhall is a massive shopping centre just outside of Sheffield, that houses every shop you could imagine (over 280 in fact). If you want to escape from the weather, Meadowhall is perfect, as there\u2019s shopping, entertainment and food all under one roof. Get the tram to Meadowhall for less than \u00a35, or the train for less than \u00a33!<\/p>\n

1) Christmas Markets<\/p>\n

Every year in the middle of \"\"<\/a>November is the Christmas light switch on in Sheffield, which also means the Christmas market. Find the town centre dotted with traditional wooden huts that house the shops. Inside the alpine huts you\u2019ll find all sorts of quirky gifts and a wide variety of food, all of which is accompanied by \u2018Thor\u2019s Bar\u2019 \u2013 a bar with log fires, wooden benches serving mulled wine and different types of cider. There are also plenty of local markets dotted around Sheffield, such as the Sharrow Vale market and Nether Edge Farmer\u2019s Market, so be sure to check those out as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
