Sheffield is a city of makers and its buildings are the blueprints of its ambition. From gothic arches to modern marvels, every structure has a tale to tell. This year, Heritage Open Days unlock the doors to discovery. Whether you’re tracing the trail from Percy Cane’s Garden to the General Cemetery or diving into Minecraft-inspired creativity at Broomhill Library, there’s a story waiting for you around every corner.

Join us for Tea, cake, and conversation as postgraduate students from the University of Sheffield’s Architecture Department share their reflections and ideas at the close of their six-week placement with us. Their poster presentation, Heritage Hub for S10 – Our Plans and Stories, starting outside, then moving indoors, celebrates local legacy and future possibilities.

Twelve Sheffield University postgraduate architecture students are spending six weeks developing ideas and proposals for turning Oriel House (the Broomhill Community Library’s building) and its garden into a community hub.

The project is now nearing the end of its fourth week and on Friday 23 (3.30-5.30pm) and Saturday 24 October (10am-noon) the team will be putting on a display in the library of the work it has done so far. Everyone, of all ages, are welcome to come to see the display, to talk to the architects and to comment, criticise and offer further ideas.

At the end of the six week project, the architects will be presenting their work as part of the BBEST Development Meeting which will take place from 3-5.30pm at Broomhill Methodist Church on Saturday 7 November. All are welcome.
