Join us as we explore the popular Ecclesall Road area with independent shops, restaurants and bars.

Ecclesall Road is well-known in Sheffield as one of the most fun places to visit, especially if you’re a keen shopper! There are a number of quirky independent retailers and bigger chains, meaning that there’s a huge choice of new and interesting stores for you to try!

We will continue to the beautiful Botanical Gardens where you will have free time to explore the 18 acre gardens and take in the beautiful scenery, all near the city centre!

This trip is free of charge and will be on Sunday 15 January. Meet us at the main entrance of the University at City Campus at 11am, and we will guide you, returning at approximately 2pm.

Christ Church Fulwood – afternoon tea

Leave a comment

Our friends at Christ Church Fulwood are hosting an English afternoon tea with cakes, games and English conversation.

Afternoon tea is an old and long-held tradition in England, dating back as far as the 1840s as a mini-meal to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner.

In Britain today, it is enjoyed as a treat or to celebrate special events. It usually includes finger sandwiches, scones, cakes and a pot of loose leaf tea, brewed to compliment the food.

Christ Church Fulwood will be hosting their afternoon tea on Sunday 25 September at 4–6pm, meet at the main University entrance. There’ll also be a short presentation about the Christian faith.

Help with APA referencing

Leave a comment

When you write an assignment or create any piece of academic work, you will be drawing upon information you have read in books, journal articles and other sources. You will be expected to acknowledge these sources through referencing.

The APA 6th ed. referencing style is a widely recognised style following the author/date referencing method also used in Harvard styles.

From September 2016, Sheffield Hallam University will be moving to using this system, and our team in the Adsetts Library have put together this helpful toolbox to explain the best practices for using it in your work. The guide includes videos, examples and guidance about using online tools and apps to reference correctly.
