Start with a drink at the outdoor patio of Forum. It is open until midnight, so you have plenty of time to settle in before heading out. The unique café/bar atmosphere on the Devonshire Green is a perfect low-pressure start.
16:02
Walk to the Cementation Furnace on Doncaster Street. Arrive just as the golden light begins to fade. This Grade II Listed Building is the only intact example of its kind in Great Britain. The fading light highlights the industrial texture of the structure before the evening shadows take over.
16:47
Head to Park Hill to see the 'I love you will u marry me' neon art. Originally spray-painted graffiti, it is now lit up in neon at night. This public art piece on the overhead walkways is best viewed after dark, making it a perfect post-sunset stop.
17:32
End the night at The Harlequin. This pub is part of The Ale Trail and offers a more open-plan environment that is less intimidating than some traditional pubs. It is open until 23:00, giving you time for a final pint in a relaxed setting.
Local tip
Park Hill is a 25-minute walk from the Cementation Furnace. The walk is short but involves some elevation. The neon art is best appreciated once it is fully dark.
