A new £14.4m event venue will soon replace vacant buildings in Sheffield’s city centre. Located at 20-26 Fargate, the venue is set to open in the second half of 2026 after some delays.
The venue will feature a 200-person live event space, with a café and bar on the ground floor. The upper floors will be dedicated to co-working areas and meeting rooms. It is designed to host a variety of community-driven events, such as exhibitions, workshops, and talks. Sheffield City Council, working with Creative Arts Development Space, has finalised the project schedule, with construction set to begin by the end of August.
The development aims to revitalise the area and provide space for local talent, from emerging musicians to first-time artists. The space will also serve as a hub for meetings that could shape the city’s future.
The project is expected to create local employment opportunities and is part of the city’s broader transformation into a dynamic centre for living, working, and entertainment. With nearby venues like Cambridge Street Collective already drawing visitors, the addition of the new space is expected to further boost Sheffield’s appeal.
