Timeline
13:30
Arrive at the Abbeydale Picture House. This domed 1920s cinema is currently the focus of a community restoration venture. While it is only open on an irregular basis for events and screenings, check their programme to see if a classic film or antiques market is running. If it is closed, you can still appreciate the exterior of this Sheffield gem before moving on.
13:50
Walk four minutes to The Broadfield for a drink and a bite. This pub underwent a major refurbishment and serves home-made pies and sausages alongside a huge range of local cask ales. It is a solid spot to refuel before the walk.
14:30
Take a nine-minute walk to Cafe#9. By day, this is a distinctive coffee shop with eclectic décor that reflects Sheffield's creativity. It is a calm place to sit, read, or just enjoy the atmosphere before heading to the park.
15:10
Walk 42 minutes northwest to Weston Park Museum. This modern museum in a grand old building is particularly suitable for a relaxed visit. Explore the galleries on Sheffield's natural and social history, the Arctic, and art. It provides a nice indoor break from the city bustle.
16:10
Walk 30 minutes northwest to the Botanical Gardens. This restored Victorian garden is a tranquil green oasis. Stroll through the formal borders, the rose garden, and the Mediterranean zone to end your afternoon in quiet reflection.
