Doesn’t SCC have a press office? Isn't this sort of thing that SCC's CEO Kate Josephs should be touting to the World & putting the word out there? I'd guarantee that if a similar venture had been started in London, Paris, Berlin or Rome, we in Sheffield would know about it via the MSM. There is quite an obvious reason why Manchester's "largest arena in the UK" attracted so much national press coverage. I think we can do without that sort of publicity dont you. As others have said there has been plenty of press coverage about Cambridge Street Collective and given the crowds in its first few days plenty have obviously heard about it.

We were hearing about the Manchester Arena on the national news well before they started with problems. Remember, the first act on was supposed to be Peter Kay. I've not even seen any mention of EUROPE'S largest food hall on Calendar or Look North let alone the national news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castle house has never been city centre , city centre has always been Barkers pool area and orchard square place is much smaller and can probably sustain itself with lower rents.

SheffieldForum Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 The city centre is officially designated by the red lines on this map, I believe: By pretty much any measure the city centre includes Castle House though. 1 Sheffield Forum | The Sheffield Guide | The Sheffield Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top4719 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I've used Cutlery Works and Sheffield Plate many times and lime them both so I'll definitely try this new place, a friend of mine went a few days ago and said the only real negative was the waiting times for food they were waiting an hour and this caused a bit of an issue with new customers coming in and tables not being vacated quickly enough, possibly just teething problems though and I'll call in in the next few weeks.

The city centre is defined by geographical boundaries. That's it. That's all it ever is. Not uncorroborated ill-informed opinions about what shops and business count and what doesn't.
