Sights & Sounds
Sights
A sunlit stroll in pretty Endcliffe Park could be just what you need to ease away the excesses from the previous evening's antics and its quintessentially English to boot. If you're lucky enough to escape the hangover-from-hell, then you might be interested in exploring Sheffield's Winter Garden; a massive greenhouse that's home to visually arresting plants from all over the world.
Sounds
The Steel City has an exciting and vibrant nightlife, as the sun goes down there's a real buzz on the streets and anybody who's a somebody can be seen making a beeline for Plug nightclub. This fabulous party spot is one of the top live music and club venues in the city, and everybody from Lily Allen to the Arctic Monkeys have played here.
If you're seeking an alternative club night for an inked-up bride-to-be then look no further than Corporation. This awesome venue is a rock-chicks paradise with a variety of rooms dedicated to music that rocks. 'JD and coke please, make that a double!'
