Historic Sheffield pub re-opening after months of closure - in time for England games
Historic pub announces re-opening
The Sportsman, in Norton Lees, will be serving again for the first time in over two months, when it opens its doors at 5pm this evening (Monday June 16).
It closed when its previously licensee left early in May, after running the historic pub for 18 months.
Now The Sportsman at the junction of Harvey Clough Road and Warminster Road, has confirmed its re-opening on its social media pages.
Bosses said in a post: “After more than 175 years at the heart of Norton Lees, we're excited to open the doors once again and welcome everyone back.
They added: “Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first visit, come and be part of a brand new chapter for The Sportsman. Your pub. Your local.
“Then on Wednesday, join us for England’s World Cup opener and what promises to be a huge night.
“Let’s get Norton Lees back in its local.”
The venue is planning an official launch party as England kick off their World Cup campaign, and said they expected a brilliant atmosphere, plenty of drinks and a packed house for the match.
