Just to the south of Sheffield is Renishaw Hall Gardens of Italian style displaying colourful bushes and immaculately trimmed hedges. Best time to visit seems to be in the summer months.

Winter Gardens

Sheffield's impressive Winter Gardens is one of the largest temperate glasshouses to be built in the UK during the last hundred years and will create a stunning green world in the heart of the city. Appearing next to the Millennium Galleries is the Winter Gardens. The gardens contain 150 different species of plants, and 2,500 plants in total.

There are also shops as part of the development. A florist, a specialist plant shop, a private gallery and a coffee shop complement the gardens. The gardens are 21m high, 70m long and 20m wide. They cover 2,500 square metres of glazing, using 128 roof vents. Inside there are 150 species of plants and 2,500 plants in all. This is the first winter gardens to be commissioned for more than 100 years.

The Winter Garden and Millennium Galleries were designed together by the same team, Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects. They were conceived to be a cultural route running through the middle of the city, surrounded by other buildings, leading to the Peace Gardens.

The Winter Garden opened to the public on 12 December 2002 and was officially opened by Her Majesty The Queen accompanied by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh on 22 May 2003. Entry to Winter Garden is free, and it is open seven days a week, 364 days per year, from 8.00am - 6.00pm. Give a call or click here for more info Limousine Hire Sheffield
