New mini golf hall to open near Bramall Lane after council granted planning permission

The planning application for the two-storey building was submitted by Chris Morgan from Two Punk Development Limited – a private company which develops building projects.

Near Sheffield United’s home ground, the site on 100-106 John Street will be transformed from an industrial building and shisha lounge to an indoor mini golf hall, complete with a bar and food hall.

Customers will gain access to the venue which is set to be a ‘Ghetto Golf’ venue – an indoor golf business which already has locations in Liverpool, Newcastle and Birmingham – via stairs and a ramp which lead from the street into the food market.

The over 18s venue will feature graffiti artwork, crazy golf courses and be home to a food dining area and an upstairs and downstairs bar.

Ghetto Golf Sheffield aim to open their doors to customers in spring 2021 and there will also be 75 part-time jobs available at the new crazy golf hall.

The business’ name refers to graffiti culture and the art inspired courses are made by a team of street artists and set designers.

No live or loud music or is permitted in the venue, unless a scheme of sound attenuation is installed, based on the findings of a noise approved survey and which would need to be to be approved by Sheffield City Council.

Brian Messier commented on the public application: “The ramps, steps, and stairs within the building need to meet current standards fully, including handrails at two levels on both sides of steps and stairs.

"The bar and food counters need to be accessible to, and usable by, wheelchair users as well as ambulant people.”

The ‘Birdies’ cocktail bar and food market will feature themed golf areas and photo opportunities for players.

Ghetto Golf commented: “The concept combines crazy golf, theatre, cocktails and DJs in an art infused environment that showcases the very best of street art and their writers.”
