I presume there aren't many reviews of this incredible building because the public doesn't always yet to have a look inside (it is available to hire for weddings etc).

For me, it is one of the wonders of Sheffield. I noticed it opposite the Cathedral one day and we were lucky enough to visit as part of Open House.

I found a lot of similarities between it and the Livery Company Halls in London- a decent number of which I've visited- and it stands comparison with and indeed outshines many of those.

The rooms and exhibits were simply astonishing- they included an absolutely enormous room used for dinners and special events, doors and lights that previously belonged on the sister ship of the Titanic- the most incredible and enormous penknife I've ever seen....

Best of all for me, all the staff that we spoke to were so friendly, informative and down to earth. They helped to make a very grand place feel very warm and personable.
