Sheffield City Hall, Barker’s Pool, Sheffield S1 2JA
About the Venue
With a capacity of 2,271 in the Oval Hall, Sheffield’s City Hall dates from the 1920s and stands right in the centre of the shopping area of the city, surrounded by several pubs, so fans will have no problem finding somewhere to meet, have a few drinks and some food.
It has a stunning Neo-Classical façade, designed by Vincent E Harris, who was the architect for such buildings as Manchester Library and Town Hall Extension, several Government offices in Whitehall and many other civic buildings. It boasts a giant portico, flanked by a line of huge columns, some of which still bear the marks of World War 2 bombs which fell close by.
The Oval Hall is the main event space in the building and is built on 3 levels, with stalls laid out flat for the first 9 rows and then gently sloping upwards towards the back. There are two balcony levels above, curving around the shape of the hall.
How to get there
The hall is situated in a mainly pedestrianised area of the city centre, with nearby roads narrow and restricted. Therefore, it is best to choose your parking area beforehand and head straight for that.
