Life in Sheffield

You're choosing a city of stunning landscapes, and a city that's creative, welcoming, rich in culture and history, but with a modern outlook and a million things to see and do. A low cost of living, great schools and an unrivalled quality of life with the Peak District on your doorstep and the largest theatre district outside of London.

There's all the buzz and stimulation of city life, but none of the stress. Instead, there's the friendly, laid-back feel of a village and some staggeringly beautiful scenery. In Sheffield you get the best of both worlds.

As a diverse and friendly city, we have many cultural and community groups across the city.  You can get involved in a fantastic array of activities. Highlights of the year include the Sharrow Festival, LGBTQ+ events, the Tramlines Music Festival, Art in the Gardens and much more.

As England’s fourth largest city, we have a wealth of facilities, two world class universities, good retail and indie shopping, galleries, industrial heritage and natural history museums, great sporting clubs, the magnificent Lyceum, Crucible and a raft of independent theatres and cinemas for evening entertainment.  Known as the Outdoor City, we have 50 public parks, 170 woodlands and the beautiful Peak District National Park within our boundaries, ideal for walking, relaxing, cycling and climbing.

From a distance and up close, our city of 7 hills is beautiful, our views are spectacular, our food and drink are inspirational but most importantly, our people are wonderful.

We are looking for talented people who can share our passion for this city. Choose Sheffield and you'll discover an extraordinary place to live and work.
