Sheffield Shopping and Districts

(Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK)

Sheffield's shopping scene is impressive to say the least and there are innumerable retail outlets around the city, where you can spend your hard-earned money. Amongst the highlights in Sheffield, the Meadowhall Shopping Centre is one of the country's biggest indoor malls and is home to almost 300 shops, as well as a multi-screen cinema.

For a more local feel and atmosphere, the indoor Castle Market is located in the city centre and is a great place to hunt for all kinds of bargains, featuring more than 200 stalls and plenty of local produce.

Where to Shop

Sheffield's Devonshire Quarter is a trendy neighbourhood and the best place to find independent shops and more individual, one-off stores. The Devonshire Quarter is also home to a number of stylish coffee shops with outdoor seating areas, where you can sit and pass the time whilst watching the hustle and bustle around you.

Amongst the highlights, the Forum Shopping Centre along Devonshire Street contains a variety of local stores, as does the striking new West:One complex off Fitzwilliam Street.

The best shopping in Sheffield city centre is based in the Fargate area, which can be easily reached by the city's Supertram from the Meadowhall district. Fargate boasts high street shopping at its best, with many shops being located around Orchard Square. Throughout the year, a number of markets also take place in this part of Sheffield and street performers are fairly commonplace in this district.

Other noteworthy shopping districts can be found around Abbeydale Road - which is known for its cluster of antique shops and Eccleshall Road - where fashion boutiques are prominent. Also worth noting, West Street is home to a number of excellent homeware stores, close to central Sheffield, while the Crystal Peaks Shopping centre lies in the suburbs, approximately 11 km / 7 miles from the city centre.
