Sheffield Wednesday FC

"The Owls" were relegated in 2026 so they play soccer in League One, the third tier. The stadium normally has a capacity of 40,000, but is temporarily reduced to 34,800. It's 3 miles north of city centre along A61. In 1989 this stadium was the scene of the Hillsborough Disaster, a crowd-crush which claimed the lives of 97 Liverpool fans, the 97th lingering death being in 2021. Note the memorial outside the Parkside Road entrance.

Abbeydale Picture House
A beautiful domed 1920s cinema, which fell into disrepair in the 1970s. Since early 2017, it has been the focus of a community restoration venture, which is ongoing, and has since begun a programme of events, including screenings of classic films and regular community antiques markets. This real Sheffield gem is far from looking its best due to decades of neglect, but its long-term future is brighter than it has been since 1975!
It is (autumn 2017) only open on an irregular basis, as restoration work is ongoing. The full events programme can be viewed here
