The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Jacqueline Chell

Our Favourite Places would be nothing without our contributors — a massive thanks to all of them!

Tell us about you…

Hallo, I’m Jaq. I like to eat food, watch films, drink beer and have a dance.

I work for Cinema For All, which is a Sheffield-based, national charity that helps volunteers to screen films wherever they may be. I also sing in Neighbourhood Voices, an all-female group singing arrangements of pop, indie and alternative tunes.

What does Sheffield mean to you?

Sheffield is a brilliant bunch of contradictions. It’s full of warmth, but likes sticking up a cheeky pair of fingers to the south. It’s proud but self-deprecating; industrial but green; active but sedentary. Come and have a go at us, and we’ll make you a lovely cup of tea.

What’s your favourite Sheffield place?

I love Walkley. It’s such an eclectic and loving mix of old and new Sheffield.

What would you do to improve the city?

Keep the trees. Oh, and more places that do pizza by the slice.
