Work still moving forward on the Sheffield Castle site, the park is taking shape. Current focus seems to be on the river view terrace.
The castle ruins remains protected under sheeting and pallets, shielded from the winter weather #Sheffield

We are delighted to join our partners at the Sheaf and Porter Rivers Trust in releasing this brand new image of the redevelopment of Castlegate.

It shows how the daylighted River Sheaf could look when work ends.

For more on the latest developments: www.sheffield.gov.uk/news/2025/fi...
The image shows a computer-generated view of how the River Sheaf may look when renovations are complete at the Castlegate site. The river is seen under a blue sky, with viewing platforms and seating areas available along the river bank for people to enjoy the view. A children's slide also runs down the hill, as do pathways.

Sheffield has a new mural!

The city’s own Pete McKee has unveiled a tribute to Henderson’s Relish, adapting one of his previous works to sit pride of place on the side of the Moor Market.

What do you think of the artwork?

This work is part of a paid partnership with Henderson’s Relish.

St Mars of the Desert, Sheffield 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 1st visit. Brewery in light industrial estate in Attercliffe. Open only a few hours a week. Utterly superb brewery and even tho the Fest that's on is elevating it, it's clear the hospitality, venue and bonhomie would clear the bar on a normal day. Love it 🍺🇩🇪
