Sheffield - Alternative
You might be quick to associate Sheffield with being a former industrial powerhouse, hence the “Steel City” nickname. Nowadays, the South Yorkshire destination is just as crucial to the UK for its cultural output – Pulp, Arctic Monkeys anyone? A lively metropolitan borough home to historic music venues, hometown festivals, side-splitting comedy nights, independent bars and restaurants, as well as a buzzing club circuit, there’s a memorable visit waiting to be “Made In Sheffield”.
