I'm really bothered by this, it feels so predatory. Like it's even worse than free labour, they're expecting the tenants to pay the landlord for the opportunity to increase the value on a house they'll never own. Is this reportable? I really don't like the idea of some poor bastard thinking this is a good deal :(

EDIT: The listing got taken down :D Don't know if it was from the report but I hope this guy learned not to try shit again regardless.

My ears might be deceiving me but it sounds louder than your average speaker would pack!

Just a note that its the Parkwood Springs Lantern Procession tonight.

Its a great little community event that is worth attending and supporting. I'm not anything to do with it but thought it worth highlighting in case anyone is looking for something to do this evening.

Feel like it’s been non stop for like 10 min, does anyone know what’s going on?

I’m taking my mum for a visit to Sheffield city centre later on today. Does anyone have any food recommendations? She doesn’t like spicy food unfortunately. TIA!

Good Morning everyone!

My wife and I are looking for somewhere to go out for Christmas Day dinner this year and wondered if anyone had any recommendations in or around Sheffield?

Thanks in advance!

Such a stupid question but does anyone know of parks or publicly accessible trees that are dropping conkers and acorns around Crystal Peaks, Hackenthorpe, Birley or Frecheville? I want to get some for kids crafts and I don't fancy buying them online if I can make a fun trip out of getting them and picking them together

Hi everyone,
I’m a student in Sheffield planning to take the train out to the Peak District next month (November) for a solo walk. I’m looking for something relatively flat and easy-going, and I was looking at taking the train to Hathersage, walking along the River Derwent to Grindleford, and catching the train back from there.

Since I haven't done something like this before , I have a few quick questions:

1. How muddy does this riverside path get in November? Do I absolutely need proper waterproof hiking boots, or can I get away with a solid pair of old trainers if I stick to the path?
2. Is the route easy to follow? I know it follows the Derwent Valley Heritage Way, but I just want to make sure the signage is clear for a solo walker.
3. Food/Drink:

How is

1. Grindleford Station Cafe, is it still cash only?
2. Any alternative flat routes? If the river path is prone to flooding or knee-deep mud this time of year, are there any other flat, train-accessible routes nearby that you'd recommend instead?

Thanks in advance for the help!

How do you parents manage between 3 and 5 with childcare? We need to look at support for our two young kids term time and it’s maddening

Hello Sheffield!

My game has been in development since 2024 and is finally approaching release! It's an epic point-and-click adventure in the vein of Simon the Sorcerer / Monkey Island, but set partly in post-apocalyptic Derbyshire. With a bit of Sheffield (bankers draft) in it too.

Brownie's Adventure: The Final Resolution on Steam

• 10–15 hours of gameplay
• Classic 6-verb GUI
• Handmade 320 × 200 pixel art
• Lots of specially recorded songs and original music (Derbyshire sheep cult church music with 3 part harmonies!)
• At least one ski village fire reference!
• High-fidelity sound effects and soundscapes (thank you, Jono Richards!)
• Some choices and variation throughout your playthrough, including different endings
• Autosave and an in-game hint system (also ships with a full walkthrough from day one)
• A bit bigger than your average solo indie game: 80+ locations, 60+ characters and 500+ animations
• DRM-free — copy and paste the game files onto a USB stick if that's your thing

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Thanks to the mods for allowing me to share the project - it's all made in Sheffield. Shit 2D animation reyt on yer doorstep.

Hi guys,

Due to unforeseen circumstances I can’t make it to tonight’s gig. Would anyone like 2 tickets? Free of charge.

Im 25M and I’ve lived in Rotherham all my life but I can travel as I drive, but haven’t really made friends outside of when I was in school. I enjoy going to the pub, cinema, dining, shopping and all that stuff, drop me a message if you’re intoit:)

If there any trainspotters out there interested, class 66 66722 "Harry Beck" will be going through meadowhall station at 1836! Caught a glimpse of it as i was coming into meadowhall.

I’m running a new speed dating event on the 12th of November at DRINK on Eccy Rd. 30-45yrs. 20 places available.

Elegance at Ecclesall for waxing, lash and brows, Arnold & Co for menswear and Reformer Pilates Studio for all.

My girlfriend comes to stay a lot and it’s costing her loads to park her car whenever she does (she lives in another city). I think she paid about £30 last time she came for a couple of nights. Is there any super cheap or free parking spots in the centre that we could go to instead??

Hey everyone!

I'm 29M and looking for someone who'd be up for going to the cinema together sometime.

I enjoy watching films and thought it would be nice to meet some new people locally who share the same interest. I'm pretty easy-going, friendly and open-minded, and always enjoy getting to know new people. I don't usually have time to meet new people because of work hence this post

Horror, thriller, action, drama or something along those lines are my favourite genres but I'd be happy to watch anything.

Not looking for anything in particular beyond some good company, a nice film. Age and gender don't really matter to me, just looking for someone friendly who enjoys a trip to the cinema.

Feel free to comment or drop me a message if you're interested! 😊

My mate can't make it. Message me if you want a free ticket to tonight's event. Would be a shame to waste it.

Join me at Arts in the Right Place - Raccoon Studios on November 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM for a creative and hands-on experience! In this workshop, you'll be designing your own patterns, transferring them onto lino, and printing them onto beautiful cards.

Take home your unique, handcrafted cards to share with your loved ones this festive season. It's the perfect way to add a personal touch to your holiday greetings while enjoying a fun and artistic evening!

Event costs £14 unwaged ticket, £20 Standard ticket, £30 Solidarity ticket.

Secure your place with the £5 deposit. Rest payable at the class.

We look forward to seeing you there.

I’m just been woken up at 5:30am by the sound of a vehicle outside. I looked out of my window and there’s a big platform being raised from a van. There’s a man stood on the road and another man on the platform and there’s a bunch of water dripping down onto my window from whatever they’re doing and it’s quite loud. I’m kinda furious because I’ve had about 2 hours sleep and now I can’t sleep due to this and have been woken up 😭

Does anyone have any idea wtf is going on? I googled the company and it said they’re roofing and commercial property maintenance experts and they seem to be cleaning the windows, but at 6am?! Can I make a complaint or something about this? I’m a woman and I sleep topless and I’m almost certain the guy doing it just got a glimpse of me as I went to close the curtains as they’re literally OUTSIDE MY FUCKING WINDOW AT 6am. WTF.

I’m in the UK btw and live in a block of flats.

With a mission to build confidence and self esteem in girls+ and gender diverse youth through arts and music programming, and to provide a safe inclusive space for exploring and creating original music, GIRLS+ ROCK! Sheffield is opening up opportunities for women and girls+ in Sheffield, and empowering them to raise their voices and take to the stage!

They are raising funds to provide free bursary and reduced cost places for girls+ and gender diverse youth who would otherwise be unable to attend their Rock Camp programme.

A long shot I know, but does anyone happen to have a spare ticket to picklefest at the steamworks tomorrow they want to sell?

I need a takeaway breakfast place tomorrow at around 8:30. Where's the best place in Sheffield open at this time?

I'm trying to buy less and buy better, and I'd rather that money stayed local.

What local makers do you rate for things that are made properly and will last years? Knives and steel are the obvious ones, but I'm also after leather goods, shoes and boots, furniture, ceramics and outdoor kit.

Not looking for gift-shop souvenirs. I want the people who make the real thing, made to last, investment pieces. Whether it's a big name or someone working out of a unit in Kelham.

Bonus points if you've owned something of theirs for years and it's still going.
