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.
5. The Yard Gallery
The Yard Gallery, run by Ian Proctor, pictured, shines a spotlight on the amazing artistic and creative talent in and around Sheffield, selling only works by artists and makers with an S postcode. There's a huge breadth of artwork, from oil paintings to felt animals, ceramics and cutlery. It's a community interest company, with profits being used to support young, up-and-coming Sheffield artists. Some of the artworks sell for more than £1,000 but you can also pick up original pieces like jewellery and ceramic soap dishes for around £20. The Yard Gallery also hosts pop-up fine dining events, with a seven course tasting menu prepared by chef Chris Hanson, who has run a two AA Rosette kitchen, served to diners seated around the beautiful ash table. | National World Photo: National World
