r/sheffield

I’ve been living in Sheffield for a while, but I don’t really have any friends or much of a social circle here. I’m actually a very social person, so being alone so much has started to get to me.
Lately I’ve been feeling really lonely, low and anxious, and honestly just fed up with feeling this way. I miss having people around, going out, having random conversations and just feeling connected to others.
For those of you who have been through something similar, what do you do when you feel depressed, anxious or lonely? How did you make friends or build a social life in Sheffield?
I’d really appreciate any advice, experiences or suggestions for things I could try. ❤️

Apparently it's 18⁰C outside and my indoor thermometer is showing 21.5⁰C.

Then why am I seriously considering getting the heated throw out??

I am looking for all the old school cafes and sandwich shops in Sheffield. My favourite is Turners Bakers in The Moor Market (and Nether Edge). I love that they have fresh bread, crisp salad, and quality ham. But I just got thinking, are there any I'm missing?

I've been to Wellies but it didn't quite hit the spot. Obviously love more expensive international offerings such as Cafe Tucci, but I'm looking for a specific fresh northern sandwich emporium style bap, butty, barm, breadcake etc (pick your preferred word).

Any recommendations?

Hi all, hoping to go to a car boot soon and wanted your recommendations of the best one in the Sheffield (and surrounding) area. It’s been years since I’ve been to one so wanted some up to date experiences. Thank you!

Naomi Abel-Hirsch is the director of Rose's House, a short documentary that premiered at Sheffield DocFest in June. Here, she tells the story of a forgotten corner of the city's queer past.

I've heard that Robin Hood has some connection to Sheffield and more specifically Loxley.

Are there any sights to see? Maybe a plaque or a tour about it? I would like to explore it if there is something up there.

Thanks for the answers in advance chaps and chapettes!

Hi all! I have just moved to Sheffield to pursue a full time Masters, and I am looking for part time work to supplement my study. I have plenty of hospitality experience and customer service skills, so I would be happy to do kitchen/bar/front of house/retail work.

Does anybody have any leads or could perhaps point me in a direction besides the usual job hunting websites? It has taken months for me previously and ideally I’d like to find something sooner. Thanks so much.

I’m considering a swim and gym membership. Have any of you got any experience of using the facilities here? Does the sauna still work? Are there many open swimming sessions?

Hi everyone!
I’m planning a trip to Chesterfield in September and I’ll be staying for two nights, It’ll be my first time visiting, so I’d really appreciate recommendations from anyone who lives in Chesterfield or knows the area well.
What would you recommend I do during my two-night stay?
I’m particularly interested in:
Places I shouldn’t miss
Good restaurants/cafés and local food
Nice pubs or places to have a drink
Interesting things to see or do in the evening
Parks, viewpoints, walks or nice areas to explore
Any hidden gems that tourists might not know about
Places worth visiting around Chesterfield if I have some extra time
I’ll be coming from Spain, so I’d love to experience the area like a local rather than just doing the standard tourist stuff.
If you had only two nights in Chester, how would you spend them?
Thanks in advance! 🙂

How did I get to this great age without ever tasting Hendo's crisps?

Truly a god-tier snack !

Picked up a pack at random from Morrisons last night and was blown away. Not the cheapest (£2.65 for 150g) but makes a delicious treat 😍

Hello,

Anybody else had bother up near Hillsborough, on the main road by gangster wannabe bicycle scrotes?

Just seen 3 of them spit on a man, and try and nick my cap, absolute twats. On the main road leading from Kelham into Hillsborough.

This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered them and I’ve read about the stone throwing.

Why does the police not do anything considering there would be plenty of complaints, I assume.

Sounds harsh, but these kids need lamping, so they understand to leave people alone. Of course you’d probably get nicked trying to do so, so it’s a sad world. I’d happily lamp them if there wasn’t the risk of getting stabbed by these scrotes.

Rant over.

Is it still closed off in large areas?

police (?) helicopter circling around netherthorpe road

edit: thanks for tuning in guys, it’s gone now. most interesting night ive had in weeks x

Anywhere that does a £1 fresh oyster discount?

Right so im on my holiday and one thing I've noticed is that in the place we're staying (uk) and some of the towns we stopped in on our way, there are public loos in parks ect.

Is it a southern UK thing ? Why doesn't sheffield have any??

My friend wants a bowl of Sheffield's best chips for their birthday party.

Where do you all suggest?

To add:

- must be veggie (no lard cooking please)

- preferably city centre

- a sit down place, not a takeout
