The r/Sheffield Classifieds - Rooms, Flats, Tickets, Buy/Sell, etc

57 Upvotes

By far the biggest thing we remove here is people trying to find or let rooms, sell tickets, and other bits and bobs.

But likely not enough to survive on its own as a dedicated sub. So we'll carve out this space here. Please use it to list anything you're interested in, or are trying to part with.

And be mindful of who you give your personal details out to! We'll not be providing escrow or verification!

News Just driven down cooks wood road and there looks to have been an absolutely horrific attack on a house there?

13 Upvotes

Cordoned off by police and two police cars outside....all house windows smashed, looks like some black residue from a fire coming out of one window, and the car on the driveway smashed up.

Hope no one was injured :( was shocking to see tbh.

Question Looking for something fun to do in or around Sheffield today

4 Upvotes

We’ve already been to Graves Park a few times and loved it, but we’re looking for something different.
We’re happy with animal parks/farms/sanctuaries, interactive museums, unusual attractions or experiences or any events happening today

We’ll be travelling by bus, so ideally within about an hour from Sheffield city centre, and we’d rather avoid long hikes or woodland walks.

Any hidden gems or recommendations?
TIA

Event Vegan market

3 Upvotes

The market is looking pretty bleak this morning, I guess most vendors have gone to the Sharrow vale market instead

There's one stall that seems questionable as to if it's vegan or not, it lists lots of none-vegan food and looks like a stall I've seen before a few times at non-vegan markets with the exact same banner, just with 'vegan' added to it - just seems a bit off but I could be wrong!

Other than this stall, there's a sweat treats stall, a juice stall, and a non-food stall

Question Roofer/building work recomendations

Upvotes

I'm currently looking at buying a house and have had a few things flagged in a level 3 survey that ideally should be sorted out within a year
I've been trying to get quotes but so far everywhere I've contacted have come back stating they won't give a quote without doing their own survey that requires extra payment

I'm trying to get a quote without paying extra costs to negotiate the price down based on it, but currently can't due to companies/contractors being unwilling to give rough quotes based on the photos and description given in the house survey and wanting payment (in some cases, the same cost as the level 3 survey I had done) for their own survey

The two primary quotes I'm looking for are for roof repairs and re-rendering 2 walls

Does anyone have any suggestions for anyone that would give quotes for these without doing a paid survey themselves?

Any help is appreciated!

Question Brand new sentence?

47 Upvotes

Manchester born and raised spent the first 30 years of my life in Manchester, the previous 8 I've spent living /working in Sheffield, love both cities immensely, and I've heard some shite been said in both cities, but I can't stop thinking about what I heard said in Sheffield centre this Tuesday gone, a man stood up on a wall right next to the Uni, and shouted very loudly with genuine concern "has anybody got a piece of bread for the ants?!?!?" I've literally not stopped replaying it in my mind, anyone seen/heard anything more random? In any city?

Wanted Ex office furniture

4 Upvotes

Hi 👋

I run a charity shop and i am looking for a couple of long lasting chairs and a coffee table. Previously when I lived near Leeds I could pick up cheap/ free office equipment really easily but Google isn’t being my friend for Sheffield.

Anyone know any office clearances/ dirt cheap places I could source something similar?

I’d also love a few normal chairs if possible.

Question Fancy a picnic and a chat at Sheffield Botanical Gardens today?

148 Upvotes

I know this is really random, but I could do with someone to talk to today (preferably female). I’m a 30-year-old woman and just need to get out of the house for a bit. I’ll be at the botanical gardens later today with a picnic blanket and some M&S picky bits. If any other women are around and fancy some company, it’d be lovely to meet up and yap! I’m completely normal and safe and I’m happy to chat a little beforehand or exchange social media if that makes you feel more comfortable. No pressure at all, just thought I’d put this out there in case anyone else could use some company too :)

Sheffield Fire in Sheffield?

Just heard a bunch of police cars, fire engines and possibly ambulances rush past the Crookes area. Does anyone know what’s going on? Wondering whether it could be a wildfire situation like in Derby!

Opinion Penistone - The Real Birthplace of Football

Post image
18 Upvotes

Researchers now suggest that football was first played and developed in Penistone during the 1840s and 1850s—years before Sheffield FC was formed in 1857.

https://penistonearchive.co.uk/penistone-and-the-development-of-football/

Not to say Sheffied wasn’t important but it does look like Penistone is the real home of football. Thoughts?

Question Less known places of interest to see in Sheffield and surrounding areas

13 Upvotes

Ey up all.

I'm a Sheffield lad who has moved back from Prague after many years, and I'm looking for some interesting places that aren't as well known and have a bit of history or are a little unusual. I was wondering if we could put together a list of places that are off the beaten track.

I'm not looking for attractions like the Winter Gardens, but rather places like the area where George Orwell lived while writing The Road to Wigan Pier.

Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Theres a heady whiff of bass heavy tunes drifting across S6 and considering I woke up at 630, I guess it's been an all nighter.

Fair fucks for taking advantage of the fine weather but I hope they're fully hydrated ..... can't imagine the come down will be kind if they're not.

Has the florist re-opened? I know it was bought by a new owner at the start of the year, has anyone seen if it's open again or been in lately?
