The Welcome Cocktail Function will take place from
6.00pm to 8.00pm at the Sheffield Town Hall.
Located on Pinstone Street, a two minute walk from
the Mercure St Paul’s Hotel, this regal setting is a
perfect start to the conference where delegates can
meet and introduce themselves over canapés and a
welcome drink. A cash bar will be available.
This is the fourth town hall designed by London-
based architect, E.W. Mountford and constructed
over a seven-year period with completion in 1897.
An extension, designed by F.E.P. Edwards, was
completed in 1923. Planned extensions in the late
1930’s necessitated the demolition of the adjacent St
Paul’s Church, but extension plans were put on hold
due to the Second World War and the site was made
into a public garden instead.
Originally called St Paul’s Garden it was known as
the Peace Gardens which became the official name in
1985. In the 1990’s the gardens were renovated with
the emphasis on water features which have become a
popular picnic venue for families during the summer.
The building is currently used by
the Sheffield City Council and also
contains a publicly displayed
collection of silverware.
There is no cost to delegates for
this function as it is included in
the conference fee. Guests of
delegates are most welcome to
attend at a cost of $30 per
person.
Please see registration form for
more details.

been host to musical legends including
Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Morrissey,

wonderful evening of good food

Located in Barker’s Pool, one of Sheffield’s central squares,
the Sheffield City Hall is the
city’s premier concert venue. Set in the heart of Sheffield,
next to St Paul’s Hotel, the City
Hall was designed in 1920 but construction was delayed for 8
years due to the economic
climate in the early 1920’s. Construction eventually began in
1929 with the official opening
in 1932. During the Second World War a bomb exploded in Barker’s
Pool, damaging the
pillars of the building.
Scars of the explosion can
still be seen today. In 2005
the City Hall and its
surroundings were
refurbished and re-
developed.
There is no cost to delegates for this function as it is
included in the conference fee.
Guests of delegates are most welcome to attend at a cost of $60
per person.

Sheffield Manor Lodge
At Sheffield Manor Lodge there is so much to discover! Through

around our landscape we explore the seven stories of the site.
Sheffield Manor Lodge offers
an opportunity to discover more about the development of
Sheffield over 600 years of history
as well as experiencing how some of this is influencing new
thinking and activities today.
During the early Medieval period, the Lodge was situated at the
centre of Sheffield Park.
During this period Sheffield was only a small town comprised of
a wooden motte and bailey
castle, a parish church and a mill on the outskirts of the Park.
In the early 16th century the
Earl of Shrewsbury remodelled the medieval hunting lodge into
one of the grandest manor
houses in the North of England and the base of one of the most
powerful families in the
country. Prestigious visitors, including Cardinal Wolsey, placed
the Lodge at the centre of
political and national intrigue during Henry VIII's reign. In
the 1570s, during the reign of
Elizabeth I, the Lodge was used as a royal jail when the
Shrewsburys became the custodians
of Mary, Queen of Scots.
Open: Every Saturday until 01st November
Price: Free
The Alfred Denny Museum of Zoology
The museum was established in 1905 and named after the
department's first professor of
biology, Alfred Denny. Many of the specimens have been in the
museum since the early
1900s when collecting was at its peak. The facility has been in
continuous use for teaching
undergraduates for more than 100 years and we are now
encouraging children from city
schools to 'become a scientist' through our inspirational
outreach program.
Open: The Alfred Denny Museum is open on the first Saturday of
each month for guided
tours at 10am, 11am and 12pm. Space is limited – bookings

Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet
What may now appear quiet and peaceful was once the largest
water-powered industrial site
on the River Sheaf. Abbeydale has been a place of metal working
for hundreds of years.
From 1697 to 1933, scythes and other edge tools were made here
and almost all the processes
were carried out on the site, from making the steel to grinding
the blades.
As an integrated water-powered works, there are many different
features to Abbeydale.
Water from the dam powered four waterwheels, which drove massive
tilt-hammers, bellows
for the forger's hearth, giant grindstones and a boring lathe.
Almost all the processes used in
the production of blades were carried out here
on one site. The only process carried out off
site was rolling crucible steel bars flat before
they were forged. This was done at Totley
Rolling Mill. The main industrial features of
the site are the crucible furnace, where
crucible steel for the tools was made, the tilt
forge where the large hammers forged tools
flat, and the grinding hull, where the blades
were sharpened.
There is an interactive area for all ages and
abilities to enjoy whilst discovering more about the history of
the site. Rediscover the
Hamlet as you explore:
The waterwheels that provided power, fed by the water from the
River Sheaf;
The blacking shop where the scythes were painted to protect them
from rust;
The grinding hull where edge tools were sharpened;
