‘Sheffield venue’

Kind Recommendations and the Joy of Community Spirit!

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

It never fails to amaze me how The Chimney House draws such a wide variety of people together and the means in which they find us.

We have guests traveling from all over the UK to use our Sheffield venue as well as those who travel globally for their meetings, conferences and events. As well as the people who use us a little closer to home…

Recommendations play a big part in our business – and we’re very proud of the testimonials that our guests give us. It often happens where guests who use The Meeting Room recommend their friends and family and colleagues to use our Private Dining Hall and visa versa… Sometimes guests arrive in the early morning and work in The Meeting Room and morph into The Pop Up Dining Hall for supper and carry on their business or just put their feet up and relax after a hard day’s work!

This week we’ve received many bookings which have been based around kind recommendations – so thank you to everyone who has taken the time to pass on our details to people looking for a Sheffield venue!

We’ve also been touched this week with the level of community spirit and neighbourly vibes… We’ve met quite a few of our fellow residents on Kelham Island – people booking meetings,  hen parties, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings with us all who are close by to The Chimney House – and the lovely situation where people are bumping into people they know  at The Chimney House when they are on their show-around or visit. It makes for a ‘nice warm being part of the community’ feeling!

Needless to say the tea-pot is always on the boil and we’ve really enjoyed swooping stories and planning beautiful events for some really special people this week…We’re so excited for all of your events!

When you’re in the right place at the right time…!!! How often does that happen??

Was downstairs in The Front Room waiting for some Sheffield business folk to wrap up their event in The Meeting Room and caught a peek of sun coming across our windows…Et voila! Name in Sheffield winter sun shadow!!!

Made extra nice as you can see some of our salvaged cabinets … unfortunately they are now sold (sob)… but keep your eyes peeled for more arriving at The Chimney House soon!!

As a changing morphing Sheffield venue we are always changing what we have in both The Meeting Room and in The Private Dining Room (AKA The Pop up Dining Hall) But more on that at a later date!

Curious Items at The Chimney House, Sheffield

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

We’re always on the look out for items of interest for The Meeting Room at The Chimney House. Everything must have a curious story to sit alongside other items of reclaim and rescue.

We’ve found that delegates who come to Sheffield to use The Meeting Room for their events tend to weave The Chimney House’s rich and vibrant history into their conferences, meetings, away-days, training and workshops either to build their event up pre-event and/or to create added interest during their time at The Chimney House and in Sheffield.

It is a regular occurrence that guests of The Pop Up Dining Hall have become so entranced by items from The Chimney House they often buy curiosities from us and take them home… We love the thought that people are taking a little piece of our captivating Sheffield venue back home with them! Of course that gives us a great chance to replenish our salvage supplies!
