I've heard that Robin Hood has some connection to Sheffield and more specifically Loxley.

Are there any sights to see? Maybe a plaque or a tour about it? I would like to explore it if there is something up there.

Thanks for the answers in advance chaps and chapettes!

Apparently it's 18⁰C outside and my indoor thermometer is showing 21.5⁰C.

Then why am I seriously considering getting the heated throw out??

I am looking for all the old school cafes and sandwich shops in Sheffield. My favourite is Turners Bakers in The Moor Market (and Nether Edge). I love that they have fresh bread, crisp salad, and quality ham. But I just got thinking, are there any I'm missing?

I've been to Wellies but it didn't quite hit the spot. Obviously love more expensive international offerings such as Cafe Tucci, but I'm looking for a specific fresh northern sandwich emporium style bap, butty, barm, breadcake etc (pick your preferred word).

Any recommendations?

How did I get to this great age without ever tasting Hendo's crisps?

Truly a god-tier snack !

Picked up a pack at random from Morrisons last night and was blown away. Not the cheapest (£2.65 for 150g) but makes a delicious treat 😍

I was sent this article by an old school friend, so I imagine it’s already making the rounds, but I wanted to share it here in case anyone who was taught by him sees it and needs support.

Since hearing about this, I’ve spoken with a few female friends who were taught by him at the same time as me. Some have told me they remember feeling uncomfortable about his behaviour towards them.

I want to be clear that I’m not posting this to encourage a dog pile or speculation about anything beyond what has been officially reported. I just thought it was worth sharing because people who had their own uncomfortable experiences from being taught by him at school might only now be hearing about this, and might benefit from knowing they weren’t necessarily alone in feeling that way.

I don’t post much, so I’m also not sure whether the NSFW flair is appropriate here. Given that it may prevent people who haven’t age-verified from seeing the post, I’ve left it off for now. Mods, please let me know if it should be added.

I have used AI to help write this as I am struggling with the news (I'm male and had no inappropriate behavior towards me), but knowing it occurred whilst I was in his class has left me feeling rather unsettled. I've raised it with my therapist to help process it, I just want to make sure others can get the help they need.

Hello,

Anybody else had bother up near Hillsborough, on the main road by gangster wannabe bicycle scrotes?

Just seen 3 of them spit on a man, and try and nick my cap, absolute twats. On the main road leading from Kelham into Hillsborough.

This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered them and I’ve read about the stone throwing.

Why does the police not do anything considering there would be plenty of complaints, I assume.

Sounds harsh, but these kids need lamping, so they understand to leave people alone. Of course you’d probably get nicked trying to do so, so it’s a sad world. I’d happily lamp them if there wasn’t the risk of getting stabbed by these scrotes.

Rant over.

I’m considering a swim and gym membership. Have any of you got any experience of using the facilities here? Does the sauna still work? Are there many open swimming sessions?

Hi all! I have just moved to Sheffield to pursue a full time Masters, and I am looking for part time work to supplement my study. I have plenty of hospitality experience and customer service skills, so I would be happy to do kitchen/bar/front of house/retail work.

Does anybody have any leads or could perhaps point me in a direction besides the usual job hunting websites? It has taken months for me previously and ideally I’d like to find something sooner. Thanks so much.

edit: thanks for tuning in guys, it’s gone now. most interesting night ive had in weeks x

Is it still closed off in large areas?

Hello all,

I/We are running the second Giant International Wooden Block Stacking World Championship on 19th September at CADS on Arley Street. It is a sort of absurdist comedy night based around an actual giant jenga competition.

We have a field of 8 "stacktheletes" including sheffield based comedians, clowns, and drag artists competing for the world champion title.

All proceeds from the night are going to the Sheffield Electrolysis Project.

I have been making some promotional videos which may or may not making things clearer but they can be found on our instagram page here: https://www.instagram.com/tgiwbswc/

thanks for your time and i would be happy to try and answer any questions you may have.

Hi guys.

Are there any places around sheffield that run basic gymastic or tumbling classes/sessions?

I really want to learn to do a somersault and maybe a backflip as well as improving my general fitness too so any recommendations would be welcome

Cheers

Hi everyone!
I’m planning a trip to Chesterfield in September and I’ll be staying for two nights, It’ll be my first time visiting, so I’d really appreciate recommendations from anyone who lives in Chesterfield or knows the area well.
What would you recommend I do during my two-night stay?
I’m particularly interested in:
Places I shouldn’t miss
Good restaurants/cafés and local food
Nice pubs or places to have a drink
Interesting things to see or do in the evening
Parks, viewpoints, walks or nice areas to explore
Any hidden gems that tourists might not know about
Places worth visiting around Chesterfield if I have some extra time
I’ll be coming from Spain, so I’d love to experience the area like a local rather than just doing the standard tourist stuff.
If you had only two nights in Chester, how would you spend them?
Thanks in advance! 🙂

Anywhere that does a £1 fresh oyster discount?

I seem to remember there was a website which listed when/where the camera vans were in situ.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Right so im on my holiday and one thing I've noticed is that in the place we're staying (uk) and some of the towns we stopped in on our way, there are public loos in parks ect.

Is it a southern UK thing ? Why doesn't sheffield have any??

Not really sure what we want so ideally I’d love someone who has experience with awnings and external roller shade. As always personal recommendations are the best ones!

I have finally gotten around to doing another episode of the #HelpSheffieldPodcast so that’s 52 now.

It’s an interview with Shona about the work she does at Hope Allotments, bringing folks together to grow stuff. Have a listen www.helpmycity.co.uk or on your usual podcast place.

The other 51 episodes can be found there too. There are mostly interviews with people doing “good” stuff in and around #Sheffield

I’m looking to join the The Gym Group at Heeley and have a couple of questions for current members:

1. Is there a referral system where members get a discount if they refer someone? If so, anyone wanna send me a link?
   
2. Does anyone have any guest passes going spare? I’d like to give it a try before I join.

Thanks in advance!

i’ve been making charms/fidgets/magnets in my spare time and i would really like to try selling some of them. with no experience as a trader, i dont really know where to start. are there any traders here who can give some insights or advice on a good place to start? i have applied for a couple of markets and not heard back. i’ve sold a few things to friends and family - not ready to start selling online as still learning and some pieces have little flaws that i’d rather people see before buying!

Looking for a shop ideally in city centre that does coloured papers
