The room was fantastic but it wasn’t the hidden bar it was the Sky Bar. It was clean, modern and well decorated. The bar staff were friendly but had to keep being reminded on the 2 for 1 cocktails that had been promised. The food was excellent even though it was a little different to what I ordered. All the guests commented on how good the buffet food was.

Sheffield has many exciting and affordable venues for different types of events. For casual gatherings, restaurants and bars such as The Lost and Found charge a minimum spend, allowing flexibility in budgeting while providing a comfortable setting for social events, informal meetings, or small celebrations. For more formal occasions, hotels like voco Sheffield offer hire fee-based options, including elegant ballrooms and versatile conference rooms suitable for weddings, corporate events, and larger gatherings.
It's recommended to book your venue at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially for larger events like weddings or conferences. Popular venues such as Wortley Hall can fill up quickly, particularly during peak seasons or weekends. For example, events like the Sheffield Doc/Fest in June and the Sheffield Half Marathon in April can create high demand for local venues. Additionally, festivals such as Tramlines in July may influence availability. For smaller gatherings or less busy times, you may be able to book closer to your event date, but planning ahead ensures you get the best choice and availability for your budget.
