Graves Park Sheffield: Delight as the Rose Garden Cafe reopens for sit-in customers after demolition battle

The iconic Rose Garden Cafe in Sheffield’s Graves Park has reopened for sit-in customers, with local campaigners delighted.

It is a huge moment for campaigners who saved the building from certain demolition after it was closed due to structural concerns in 2022.

The Star met with Caroline Dewar and Gertie Whitfield from Friends of Graves Park, a community group working in partnership with Sheffield City Council and Save The Rose Garden Cafe, to talk about the reopening and what is next from here.

A public consultation on the future designs and usage of the building is still ongoing. You can find more information about that, the cafe and Graves Park on the Friends of Graves Park website.
