The Lamp Room Theatre

Born out of a derelict Methodist Chapel, the venue has been developed by a hard-working group of volunteers, who work alongside a small team of staff which include a Theatre Manger, Technical Manager, Box Office Manager, Bar Manager and Theatre Technician. Regular visitors are amazed at the changes which are made to make theatre-going in Barnsley a pleasure.

Absolutely fantastic airside tour seeing the XH558 Vulcan in all her beauty! Me and my partner stayed at the Ramada hotel across the road from the airport where we met the crew in the reception after breakfast for the briefing. Cannot fault the friendly staff!! After tea and biscuits, we boarded a comfortable warm coach and set off to the aircraft. Whilst there we were able to freely roam, take lots of pictures, go inside the cockpit, see the bomb-bay doors open and were surrounded by lots of friendly staff who were full of interesting information and facts about the aircraft! 10/10 cannot fault a single thing with the experience. Me & Steve are even going to look into coming to one of the taxi run days in the near future ???? would highly recommend!!!

Santiago, who is known for his cheeky antics, was my friendly alpaca companion for today's walk. The Alpaca Trek, lead by enthusiastic, entertaining and down-to-earth members of the Holly Hagg Community Farm, has been one of my favourite and unique experiences this year. It was a lovely route and I enjoyed having Santiago's company, despite him walking me round in circles when I got his food out and when he wanted to jump in the bushes and eat them at many points throughout the walk. These antics made the walk interesting and gave us something laugh about. It may have been the first time he had seen sheep too, which was adorable! Santiago allowed me to stroke his back, neck and head - he was so soft and cuddly! The volunteers leading the trek were also very conscientious of social distancing guidelines and they followed those 'extra measures' to make sure everything was safe and healthy. I felt very comfortable with the set up and would definitely go again soon!

We visited Brodsworth Hall with friends on Monday 17th September.It was a last minute decision to visit,as the English Heritage leaflet we had did not fully convey the amazing venue that the Hall and gardens turned out to be.In the words of one ofour companions it is one of the BEST home and garden ever visited.A stately home it is not,but what a wonderful example of Victorian and Edwardian life it portrays. The grounds are magnificent,with a great array of rare and interesting trees,shrubs and herbaceous plants,lovingly tended by the very helpful garden team.The house is displayed in an "undressed" state,no fancy frills or dramatic displays.Just a reflection of life of a caring wealthy family and their staff.We ewre there for over six hours,and still didn't have enough time to fully appreciate it all.Will return next time in the area.

Kelham Island Museum

Reviewed By BevC107 - Sheffield, United Kingdom

Kelham Island is one of Sheffield's most interesting museums. You can watch the Little Mesters (skilled craftspeople in silverware and steelware) fettling in their tiny workshops and be amazed by the River Don engine. If you have very little children with you, it might be wise to warn them beforehand that it is very noisy and the floor actually shakes when it's going full pelt. I really like the little stationary steam engines that go chunkety-chunk, wheels spinning and pulleys flapping. There is a section with very old cars like the Sheffield Simplex. Wall mounted posters tell of the Great Sheffield Flood when the newly built Dale Dyke Dam capsized in the middle of the night of 11th March 1864 and over 240 people drowned in the deluge. You can track the history of Sheffield's steelmaking from the tiny 14th century forges along its 5 rivers to the huge Atlas Works of the early 20th century. And Kelham Island has a great cafe of its own and there are 2 good pubs very nearby. But be warned, it's closed Fridays and Saturdays.

Starting from malin bridge enter the nature trail from the mouse hole and follow it passed an old mill pond to where you can split and go left by the next dam or right and cross the stepping stones, then onto rivelin park and across the bridge and follow the path to the s bends, cross the road and continue along the path passing old mill ponds and structures from an industry long gone, keep going and eventually you’ll come to the old post office which is the end of the nature trail, about 3-4 miles from here you’ve endless choices of where to go Hope this helps anyone interested Not suitable for infirm, pushchairs or wheelchairs in places due to the ground conditions, PS after heavy rain the river does cover the stones, don’t try an be a hero please and be safe

Millhouses Park

Millhouses Park is located approximately 3 miles south-west of Sheffield City Centre. Part of the park was gifted by Earl Fitzwilliam & Marquis of Zetland in 1909, with the remainder purchased by Sheffield City Council. Recent improvements include the Splash! project, located on the site of the old swimming pool and lido and reintroduces water play into the park, many years after the lido was closed and filled in. It is an interactive play area designed to be both playful and educational with kit such as an Archimedes screw, hand pumps and see saws that pump water into a large snaking channel, where it can be dammed in several places before being scooped by a water wheel and fed into a recycling tank. The water then feeds the toilets, can be used to water plants and tops up the boating lake. The Fishway project has seen the old paddling pools filled in and converted into natural habitat that will allow fish such as trout to bypass the two weirs on the River Sheaf and move upstream to spawn. The design is very complex and incorporates rock pools, overhangs and resting places and mimics their natural habitat as much as possible. Park Facilities include:On-Site Parking2 multi-purpose fields Outdoor Gym Skate Park Obstacle Course Traditional Playground Zipwire SPLASH! Waterplay Boating Lake with Paddle Boats Fish Pass Cricket Pitch Tennis Courts Pitch 'n' Put Crown Green Bowling Basketball Court5-a-side all-weather pitch Sensory Garden Formal Gardens Free Toilets Park Cafe & Ice Cream Kiosk (private business)Please use this page to review Millhouses Park.

A lovely well maintained park with lots to do for both children and adults. 10.30AM on a cloudy August Sunday morning and already very busy. Kids love it here and it's very flat great for a stroll. Tennis courts bowling basket ball swings just so much to do. And a very nice cafe for a coffee and a snack.
