The former mesters’ workshops at the beautiful Leah’s Yard, off Cambridge Street, have been given a spectacular new lease of life as a charming retail hub.
From flowers and fashion to the best Sheffield beers, meats, sauces and other produce, there’s plenty to see and buy there.
There’s also a lovely little deli, a chocolate cafe serving up delicious treats and a trendy barbershop overlooking the cobbled courtyard.
It’s a refreshing alternative to Meadowhall for those who like to shop local and on a smaller scale, with the chance to chat to the friendly, knowledgeable traders about their products, some of which are handmade by them.
Below is a list of all the traders, cafes and services available at Leah’s Yard so far.
We have not included the numerous businesses, charities and other organisations which are based there but whose offices are not open to the general public.
