We Spent 1 Night In Sheffield & It Totally Surprised Us | Sheffield UK

Join us in South Yorkshire for an evening exploring Sheffield and witness our surprise as we discover an indoor tropical paradise, hunt bears through the city centre and end up with an authentic taste of America in our latest UK travel vlog.
We begin our adventure at Meadowhall Shopping Centre as we board the excitingly named Sheffield Supertram for a short journey to the city centre where we are greeted by the awesome sound of the Cathedral bells and the first of many awesomely decorated bear sculptures.
As we wander the city streets we stumble across the Winter Garden and head inside for an amazing surprise. Not only is it an indoor tropical paradise that transports you to tropical climes all year round but there are mysterious creatures hidden in the bushes too.
After discovering the tranquil Peace Gardens, the iconic Crucible and even more bears around the city, we take a walk around Victoria Quays and the Sheffield Canals before we jump back on the Supertram towards Ikea where we disembark and take the short walk to TGI Fridays for a taste of America in the heart of Yorkshire.

⭐️ Our latest visit to Sheffield in April 2024 is now LIVE 👉🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHqrgYigh7iCm6Msi=dbIsGzCWgZtc0aAl

Grew up in Sheffield, left 60 years ago. It has changed a lot, but when I was small the town hall was black with the air pollution, and I remember it being cleaned to reveal the golden stone. Memories!

[@JJExtra]

Oh wow that’s incredible. Memories indeed!

[@D.Rose1990]

I am a Sheffielder living in Canada and loved this blog. Shared this with my kids and they loved the beauty of Sheffield.

[@JJExtra]

Glad you enjoyed it thank you ☺️

[@sarribel]

IT is Europe's greenest city. More trees than anywhere else. THX

[@simonabbott725]

Nah they've cut most down in favour of cooking us all in a 5G oven lol

[@LibbyWithnall]

Wow, Sheffield is lovely - so much nicer than I though. Definitely looks like it’s worth a visit. The Winter Gardens were gorgeous.

[@JJExtra]

We hardly scratched the surface too, so much history!

[@JoshuaBd]

I’ve lived here all my life and I love it! You should deffo visit ,

[@alexpusey6732]

hi x

[@HOTCAR86]

Hey guys I came across this video doing some exploring my 22 year-old son is flying there Solo in June is it a pretty safe City and easy to get to Leeds Airport? all advice welcome

[@evanjuniorfluffy]

I know my city is

[@andrewclegg3910]

I am a Sheffield lad born and bred. Im very proud of my home city and all that it has given the world: Stainless Steel, The modern game of football, Steel ( we are known as the Steel City ) the music bands: ABC, Human League, Heaven 17, Arctic Monkeys, Pulp. Joe Cocker, Actor Dominic West, Def Leppard Thanks for posting this video guys.

[@Pilot.0101]

I'm Sheffield born and bred, very proud of my city. The people are like nowhere else in the world. We have an incredible music scene and history, gave the world stainless steel and our accent was voted sexiest in Europe 🙈😉 I know! Haha! We also have more trees per capita than anywhere in Europe. That police box you saw on Surrey Street was my dads, he clocked in and out there for 12 years as a South Yorkshire Bobby before his move to CID. He was once in that box when the door suddenly slammed shut on him, found out later it was due to the exploding gas tower in Hillsborough 😮

[@JJExtra]

Absolutely right to be proud, it’s a city we love to visit and explore and always find the people so friendly. Great story about the police box but the main question remains… is there a secret society inside it? 😂

[@leoinnortherncali410]

Sheffield is nice, love the bears. Was startled when they started speaking as well. The winter garden was beautiful. Good way to end the evening with family, friends and food. Be Safe and Be Well

[@JJExtra]

It took us a minute to work out it was the bear that was talking 😂 was definitely a fun evening.

[@trigjosh]

I live in Sheffield, the reason nobody waves at you on the tram is because of school-kids. When they're on the tram, they wave at people, not because they're being friendly, they do it to mock members of the public, or tray to trick others to think that they know them. If a member of the public waves back, they burst into laughter. So that's why nobody waves back, they probably thought you were mocking them. The canal goes past Meadowhall, you can walk along the side of the canal to Meadowhall, and walk back along the river Don to the city centre or vice-versa. It's called the Five-Weirs-Walk.

[@hhhggfhtgdh]

I love living in Sheffield, lovely city

[@katherineraina7344]

I was born in Sheffield years ago. I've never been back but hope to one day 💚

[@4hotographix]

Born and bred in Sheffield but left just over a year ago now living in Cornwall…never really ventured into the city centre much over the last few years so somethings have changed that ive never seen even though i lived there for 48 years…!! We do return every 3 / 4 months to see family etc..👍

[@JJExtra]

We really enjoy Sheffield, in fact we were just back there this weekend filming an updated video so that will be coming soon! Big difference between Sheffield and Cornwall 😂 hope you are settling in well.

[@4hotographix]

@@JJExtra yeh big difference…no traffic jams lol…apart from height of summer when holidaymakers come down…not sure how far you have ventured out but we came from Hillsborough area (north of city ctr). We’re settling in well..just wish the weather would improve…I’ll keep an eye out for the updated video…!

[@deeperlife5689]

Sheffield is a great place to live. I’m a sheffielder but I lived in Essex and Nottingham as a student. I’ve also lived in Leeds for 10 years but came back to Sheffield 8 years ago. Sure there are some areas to avoid but you get that everywhere. I live in the south of the city with the Peak District on my doorstep. People are generally friendly and if you are a sociable person making friends is fairly easy. The main issue I have is the decimation of the city centre and lack of investment

[@theEnglishman420]

I live in Sheffield and it's a great city and love it. Even though it's going a bit downhill it's still has very friendly people

[@pigeonsareugly]

It's really not going downhill, if you look at videos from the 90s/ 2000s it's way shittier looking. The public transport these days really has gone down the shitter though

[@sajidkhanmahmood]

I grew up here as a kid in the 80s that police box has been there ever since i can remember. Great memories of a great City.

[@JJExtra]

Such a quirky little detail that remains isn’t it? We can’t wait to get back and explore more of the city.

[@sajidkhanmahmood]

@@JJExtra yea it is a great city I have all my childhood 80s memories there. Where do you guys travel from.

[@melthebell33]

I'm originally from Sheffield but left in 1993, a lots changed since then, wasnt any winter gardens, the peace gardens was literley just a bit of grass with flowerbeds and benches around (where we used to get drunk). where the police back is, just to the left is some steps, they used to lead to public toilets, now i believe theres a microbar down there?

[@mobinxd]

You should visit the botanical gardens in Sheffield it’s beautiful as Buckingham palace.

[@JJExtra]

Thanks for the tip well wright that one down ☺️

[@janewatt683]

That was a real nice vlog, anything in Yorkshire is lovely to me! The cathedral bells were lovely to hear, loved all the bears, but not the creepy dolls! The only small police box I have ever seen was in Trafalgar Square. The flowers in the Peace Garden were beautiful. Victoria Quays we’re lovely too. Never been to a TGIF , I think we have them in Canada, will have to check. You certainly had a lovely evening in Sheffield.

[@JJExtra]

Yorkshire certainly is an amazing place. Sheffield was such a beautiful city to walk around but why the need for the dolls!? *shudder*

[@craigmiskelly9150]

I live in Sheffield i love the city lived Manchester. Swansea Cardiff. London but I love coming home now live here near Victoria docks not leaving again!

[@HOTCAR86]

My 22 year-old is flying there in June to visit with friends he's flying into Leeds Airport is that pretty close to Sheffield? Thanks so much

[@JXLK1]

only just realised the elephant in the garden bit has the artic monkeys album cover on it

[@swagbeast6944]

[@JJExtra]

Thank you! We loved our visit 😊

[@iluvmatbaynton]

4:17 That's the arctic monkeys elephant!

[@JJExtra]

Oh awesome thanks for letting us know, we’d have been none the wiser!

[@WilliamCurbishley]

Sheffield Town centre is a bit of a building site at the moment.hopefully when the boards are taken away it will look impressive.a food Hall said to be the largest of its kind in Europe will open on the 23rd May.

[@JJExtra]

Yeah there were works going on during our latest visit but it’s good to see! We must get back for that food hall 😋

[@lauragibbs7859]

Better places to go than TGIFridays. Sheffield has some great hidden gems like the Rhubarb Shed

[@JJExtra]

Noted for next visit ☺️

[@brianmorrison9168]

I am looking to book a short break for my wife and I .. wanting a city where we haven't been before. . Sheffield looks quite nice and quite easy to get to from Newcastle by train

[@JJExtra]

It’s a great city to visit so doubt you would be disappointed. We have just returned ourselves and will have a new video on Sheffield in 2 weeks so depending on when you are looking to travel that could be of help 😊

[@mkdebs9807]

I would have been singing along with the girls. I also love a boogie. I sound so old 😂😂😂😂

THE BEARS TALK

I would say where I live / Sheffield is a wonderful place ❤️

[@JJExtra]

We would agree with that! We only scratched the surface but will definitely be back one day!

[@MarkPitsmoorOwl]

Sheffield is Englands 4th Largest City I was Born in Manchester but I like Sheffield better! SWFC

[@JJExtra]

We’ve never been to Manchester but it’s on our list (as is returning to Sheffield) so intrigued to know what makes you prefer Sheffield… other than the football allegiance of course 😂

[@MarkPitsmoorOwl]

@@JJExtra 💯 % the people are more friendly in Sheffield their are also lots more parks in Sheffield! Sheffield is built on 7 hills so you lots of very good views

[@JJExtra]

Yes we noticed the hills 😂 gateway to the Peak District is never a bad selling point and we agree, we found the people friendly.

[@johnwootton5629]

“The Crucible snooker hall” 😂😂😂 PMSL

[@artsandcraftsideasshowinga5121]

Only scratched the surface here fellas, so much more to see in and around Sheffield.

[@JJExtra]

We are planning on coming back later this year so any recommendations we’d be grateful 😊

[@simonabbott725]

​@@JJExtradon't forget to give a big shout out to South Yorkshire Councils they are some of the best in the country For being the worst

[@letni9506]

​@@JJExtraI know it's not exactly Sheffield as you cross into the peak district but if you head south out of Totley or Dore there is some fantastic countryside and some good views over Sheffield Padley Gorge and surprise view are two of my favourite places.

[@happymatt2013]

Excellent video snapshot tour this will help me on my visit to Sheffield this w/e; first time visiting in 12 years

Places are never the same when you live there as what they are when you visit as a tourist but we enjoyed the city

[@HShango]

There are plenty of areas that aren't nice where I'm from (London), people in London tend to go the hotspots or the city centre to enjoy or blow off the stress from work and just life overall. Also a lot of people know London is a monstrosity of a city where inequality is huge.

[@evanjuniorfluffy]

It’s like the government makes it look like a non violent city because when tourists are gone it’s diffremt
