I just love going to botanical gardens to look at what each city preserves or keeps in their garden, many will have other plants around the world. There is a water fountain that leads through the aisle to the green house. Weddings are held here and I can visualize the beauty of it. The green house is bigger than I thought it'll be when I was inside. There is also a bear pit, reminds me of The Gladiator. It is very beautiful and will have to come back one day again when it is warmer. Sheffield will always have a special place in my heart.

And the cost of going to cinemas these days... ridiculous! Anyway, it was the Easter long weekend, the clouds had covered Sheffield in a dulling grey and my brother, sister-in-law and I were in need of some entertainment. So we went and saw Locke at The Showroom Cinema. It wasn't busy so we were able to get tickets quickly and headed down into the surprisingly large room. It was clean, comfy and the screen and sound quality were great. Everything you could want in a cinema with that good 'local' feel. According to my brother, their ice cream is fantastic but our excess Easter egg consumption meant we avoided additional sugar. Also, the restaurant connected to the cinema is supposed to serve some great food but I am yet to try. One day...

The Lantern Theatre is 120 years old and whilst that puts it at being the city's oldest arts venue…read moreit is by no means the shiniest, the biggest or even the best. However what it does have (by the bucket-load) is charm, novelty value (oh yes it does) and a clear cut nod to lovers of late-Victorian architecture. The interior feels like a lazy Goth decorator drunkenly made his mark and, despite it being a tight squeeze, The Lantern possesses a surprisingly alluring ambiance. If you want good quality theatre - fringe, mainstream or otherwise - at an affordable price then give The Lantern a shot.

This is a modern building that houses various small exhibitions, not to be confused with the Graves Gallery, the city's art gallery, which is located close-by. The Millennium Gallery focuses on some visiting/special exhibits as well as on a few permanent exhibitions, like the "John Ruskin Collection" - a 19th century selection of various crafts and natural history objects, with a few watercolors and paintings thrown in for good measure, that the philosopher John Ruskin collected to create a small museum for the working class of the time, most of them being kept ignorant of history and the arts by the ruling classes. While none of those objects are in any way spectacular, one can well imagine that they must have delighted and astounded their target audience at the time. Then, there's an permanent exhibit on Sheffield's history as a centre of metal and silver manufacturing in the late 18th and 19th centuries. This is actually the most impressive part of this gallery (see photos). Photography is allowed in these permanent exhibitions. The venue is free of charge, and it's bright, modern and friendly, with a long garden gallery that you can sit in and relax from the bustle of the city. There's also a café on the ground floor, as well as a small museum shop on the first.

They have 3 main halls for exhibits - the permanent metalwork exhibit was the star for us. Very interesting to learn a bit about Sheffield's history, and there are a lot of pieces to look at. The gallery is not huge, I think we spent between 45 minutes and an hour there, but it's location means it's not exactly out of the way and it's free, so I would still recommend you pop in. It's also surrounded by a few nice restaurants and independent cafes, so I imagine it would be quite nice to visit around lunchtime.

Now the only cinema with an IMAX screen in Sheffield, but be prepared to pay to see a film on this screen. Whilst a Starbucks has just opened in the cinema lobby, unfortunately it does not take the Starbucks loyalty card so just be aware of that before you order. And watch out for parking on Orange Wednesday's or when an event is on at the Arena. If you don't get there early it can be a bit of a nightmare finding a space. Overall, reasonable facilities and fairly comfortable seats for those extra long films.

The screens are large, the sound is spot-on and the seats are on a steep rake - which means it doesn't matter how tall the person in front of you is, you can still get a good view. There's ample legroom, too. Everything else is standard multiplex: long queues, overpriced food and drink and noisy clientele. If you want to see the latest blockbuster in Sheffield then Cineworld is the place to go. If you want to nod sagely as you admire the mise-en-scen of the latest Alain Resnais reprint then try the excellent Showroom independent cinema in town.

I've been here for Lunch & Dinner and enjoyed each time and clearly this will be a must come to place each time I visit Sheffield.

A nice art gallery in Sheffield which focuses on pre-20th century paintings mostly…read more Close to the Millennium Gallery, which is more of a museum, there is the Graves Art Gallery, located - somewhat confusingly - above the city's central library. It's on of the third floor of a historic, Grade II listed building. Perhaps, and this is just a suggestion, they should get their own place. It's a smallish art gallery by the standards of British cities - after all, Sheffield is the 5th biggest in the country. While there are few major masterpieces (one is a pre-Raphaelite painting by Edward Burne-Jones), it's a likeable "regional collection", so to speak. The focus is on traditional paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries, plus a changing temporary exhibit in Gallery I. Most of the permanently exhibited works are of British origin, though there are some minor international paintings as well. Nothing earth-shaking, but nothing boring either. Long story short, it's a good place to kill an hour or two when in Sheffield. Photography, due to copyright restrictions, is allowed only in the 19th century and before galleries. Which is great for those of us who care.

I went to the Graves gallery to see the Andy Warhol exhibition last year. It was called "Andy…read moreWarhol: Late Self-Portraits" and featured some of Andy's most iconic work in the spacious, clean building that sits atop a huge library. The exhibition offered a unique insight into the 'real' Andy Warhol from the people who knew him best - a series of audio recordings of Warhol's family and close friends talking about the artist's childhood, relationships and approach to his work. The area was small but it sufficed, a nice little gift shop at the end where I bought a couple of postcards to send to my American friends. I loved the presentation of the work - it was very Warhol and complimented the minimalistic nature of his work. I took my grandma to see it because she is like me - constantly thirsty for knowledge and art - and she loved it as much as I did, sitting at the circular table which housed the tape recorders and listening for ages to the recollections. The only bad thing I could say was that it contained neither the famous soup can image, nor the Marilyn Monroe piece. I would have ended this review by recommending you to go see the exhibition, but unfortunately it ended on the 1st of December last year! I would still urge you to visit the gallery, it is one of the most pleasant I have ever visited (and I have been to a LOT!).
