Arts, crafts and such
- Retrocentro, in the Sheffield Antiques Centre on Broadfield Road, is one of the coolest Retro shops I've ever seen. It's like walking into someone's flat, rammed with 50s, 60s and 70s furniture, curtains, china, glass, lamps, kitchen stuff. The colours are amazing, the shapes are wicked and the prices are pretty reasonable too. It's my new favourite shop in Sheffield!
- Bloc art on Sydney St have exhibitions sometime.
- guitar is where its at
- That nice Wickwire shop in Nether Edge - there is also one in Woodseats now....and a website www.wickwire.co.uk. Great stuff!
- A great gift shop in Nether Edge - 'Wickwire' - unusual gifts, great cards and friendly staff.
- Easily Sheffields most stylish best and most affordable Silver Jewellery is at POINT 925 in Broomhill. Always stocking new things for you, great presents great service.
- There is website that lists contemporary art exhibtions and events in Sheffield - www.artsheffield.org. It's great, as it not only lists exhibitions in large galleries such as the Millennium Galleries, but also shows in pubs, disused warehouses and even on billboards.
- Site gallery next door to the showroom but technically in the same building. The only place I think you can see genuine modern art made by contemporary, unknown practicing artists
- HOBBY CRAFT IS DA BEST!!
- there's a gallery on the top floor of the Sheffield Library next to the Lyceum Theatre.
- go to the botanical gardens in the autumn
- Walk talk galleries!

- Hibbert Brothers, just next to Tudor Square. Go there NOW!, it is closing down soon, but is a Sheffield institution, even if you don't like the pictures...Also the Ora Gallery at Ecclesall is brilliant for deciding what you're going to buy. When you're very rich.
- Try the Lanes at MeadowhEll but, better still, try Pippys in the town centre.
