New venue Roxy Ball Room featuring beer pong and a shuffleboard coming to Sheffield

Roxy Ball Room is set to open in Wellington Street in the next few months.

The venue will include beer pong, pool and a shuffleboard.

This will be the latest addition to the Heart of the City scheme – a £470 million project to regenerate part of the city centre.

The Sheffield venue is the latest in the UK fort the brand, which also has a presence in Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, Birmingham and Bristol.

It will be based underneath Telephone House, which has recently been refurbished, and close to the recently opened restaurant and bar called The Furnace.

Kate Martin, executive director of City Futures at Sheffield City Council, said: “The Roxy Ball Room will be a fantastic new addition to Sheffield’s night-time offer. We’re all about celebrating fun in this city and I’m really pleased that Roxy Leisure have chosen Sheffield as the home of their new venue.”

Joel Mitchell, brand development manager at Roxy Leisure, which will operate the site, believes Heart of the City has presented the perfect opportunity for the company to open their first venue in the Steel City.

He said: “This is an incredible location and we can’t wait to bring the Roxy experience to the city very soon. Roxy and Sheffield are a perfect for each other and we are very excited to finally come to a city that we have wanted to be in for a long time.”

Alex Hyams, senior leasing manager at Queensberry – a strategic development partner on Heart of the City, said: “We’re delighted to be able to announce that Roxy Leisure has signed up and that they plan to open in the summer. They are a top-quality operator and their venues have a real sense of character and personality, which will definitely bring something new to the city centre.

“Heart of the City is taking the city centre’s social scene to new heights and Roxy, alongside the likes of The Furnace and the upcoming Cambridge Street Collective, will give the public and local businesses a leading social destination to enjoy in the day, after work and into the evening.”
