Each year English Heritage run Heritage Open Days across the country and this year over 50 venues in Sheffield took part. Sheffield Hallam participated for the first time with an exclusive tour last weekend. We took visitors to the rooftop of our Owen Building, providing an opportunity to see the City of Sheffield and our campus from above.
It was a real success with 100 people booking their place, a mixture of staff, alumni and the community. The high demand resulted in all tours being fully booked and the need for additional tours to be put on.
“The views were amazing, obviously. The fellow group members were great and many of us shared our memories of Sheffield places and how they’ve featured in our lives. Fascinating.” Visitor Feedback
