Think, “the full Monty”, think knives and forks, think heritage, think about the fourth biggest city in England with a nineteen acre botanical garden within it boundary, then THINK SHEFFIELD.

For too long Sheffield was just regarded as an industrial town that produced high quality stainless steel cutlery and swords at an earlier age, as the production had been going on since the middle ages.

Sheffield today is much more than that, much more than worn out factories and grubby red bricked houses.

Sheffield is modern, vibrant, bursting with enthusiastic businesses, determined students, restored historical buildings, fantastic shopping, great night life, wonderful sights to see, proud people and an ideal destination for your Hen Party.

For the Hens that want to shop the choice is good.

Starting with Meadow hall, it’s a huge shopping centre with everything under one roof. It’s a marmite experience really and you’ll either love it or want to spit.

If its something flashy you and the girls are after then head down to the Devonshire quarter. This whole area is daft with trendy designer shops and as night closes in it becomes the Mecca for the foodies and the jet setters with boutique bars and restaurants.

Not too far away is the City Centre with all the Big names in shopping. This is a Hen Party shoppers dream.

If you and the girls are on a tight budget head for the Moor, an area with discount shops and the home of the Hen Party bargain hunter.

There are canals and waterways in the city and it is a beautiful peaceful way of your way around while soaking up the ambience.

Sheffield supports two major soccer clubs and as can be witnessed by their support, the population is sports mad, so if you are on an activity Hen Party, check out the leisure centres, activity centres and all the sports facilities.

The city is also steeped in history and at a stage the sixteen century Manor lodge was the jail for Mary Queen of Scots.

There are some other fine buildings such as the cathedrals and the recently renovated Georgian town houses and the winter gardens.

Dining out is a good experience with many fine establishments to chose from.

There are plenty of fine hotels and also budget accommodation.
