Nicola Stephenson, Director, The Culture Company, Leeds
We held the final day of our creative ideas programme `The Artimelt Academy` meeting at The Chimney House and everyone absolutely loved this unusual, atmospheric and gorgeous venue in its post-industrial-setting-by-the-water. From the beautifully detailed and eclectic furnishings to the story about the elephants who lived there at the beginning of the 20th century (I particularly loved that one!), it was very special and a million miles away from blandness. Sally gave us a warm welcome and looked after us very well throughout the day, magically appearing with more coffee just when we needed it and pointing us in the direction of the real ale pub at the end of the day. Highly recommended.

I found The Chimney to be an unusual mix of old traditional building used in a modern way. Interesting, relaxing and great food

I wanted to thank you for your help in organising and hosting printing.com’s UK Franchisee meeting on Thursday 8th July. The whole experience was an absolute joy! Having seen The Chimney House on its launch party, I was determined to use your facilities. However, it was your proactive and flexible approach that helped this come to fruition.

The Chimney House is the automatic choice for a uniquely individual, eclectic and soulful venue, for meetings, functions or Rock and Roll parties. The fabulous building is matched by an equally fabulous interior and facilities. Couple that with staff that are as interested in creating a bespoke and unique experience for their clients as they are in providing Sheffield’s answer to Soho House and you have a recipe for total success and satisfaction.
Claire Green PA to Ivor Lawrence – Director of Marketing Sheffield Hallam University
We held one of our away days at The Chimney House and from organising to delivery, it was a real pleasure to work with Sally. The attention to detail and flexibility was great and everything went without a hitch. The feedback from the delegates was fantastic and absolutely everyone commented on how good the venue and food was. I have already passed on Sally’s details to a number of colleagues and will not hesitate to recommend this venue!

I just wanted to compliment you on your superb venue, it really made our day much more interesting and inspiring, what a difference it makes not being stuck in a stuffy hotel conference room all day. Us

Roger Pearson, Sizer
Many thanks for hosting us all last Saturday evening. Everyone really enjoyed the relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. A real pleasure to spend an evening dinning in the middle of Sheffield’s industrial past! I’m sure everyone will looking to hark back as soon as they possibly can.
Toni Cross, Coda Architect Studios
We held our first ‘out-of-office’ seminar at The Chimney House and the results were tremendous- the attendance was far higher than we experience doing ‘in-house’ talks and the client feedback was nothing short of ultra-positive. The décor, ambiance and service were first rate and we will undoubtedly become regulars!
Nick Rowley, GF Smith
We had our Northern Area Sales Meeting at The Chimney House. We are a National creative paper company and strive to get our sales team motivated and inspired to go on and deliver to targets and perform in the market place
In the past we have had meetings at our HQ (in Hull) and have also used various hotels but The Chimney House is something else. Carefully restored a fabulous space/room to relax unwinds and opens up those creative juices
Every member of the team really enjoyed the setting, the lovely food and the very helpful staff that are passionate about their building and its history. I ended up asking Sally to give a brief talk about the history and the whole process they took to get the building to be what it is today as the team really wanted to know…
Would defiantly recommend this venue to anyone but not on the dates I want…!
Kate Senter, Irwin Mitchell
The measure of a great venue is when your colleagues ask, ‘when are we going back?’! From start to finish, our Chimney House experience was exceptional! Sally was on hand both before the event and throughout the day, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The catering was sublime and showcased Sheffield’s finest – great for entertaining out-of-towners! We ended our day with a gastro-feast, fit for a king and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the feed and felt very well looked after. We feel extremely privileged to have The Chimney House as our neighbors and we can’t recommend you highly enough….when can we come back?!
Luke Dawson O’Neil, A4e
Everything in the Chimney House shouts unique. It’s one of those rare finds where someone with an excellent eye for the eclectic has brought together styles and ideas with a level of panache that’s rarely achieved.
Melanie Parker, Irwin Mitchell
Many thanks Sally for such a brilliant place to hold our event! Great facilities with lovely touches like candles in the toilet! The food was amazing and great to be able to eat it outside with the ducks for company! Sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye but rest assured I’ll be back soon as soon as I find an excuse…
Philip Brown. PCI Systems
What a great location! We had one of our best Customer Days in years. We all felt that the style and quality of The Chimney House contributed to the relaxed but professional atmosphere and with a superb lunch we couldn’t have asked for more. We will be returning.
Samantha Royle Head of Marketing A4e
Sally Clark and The Chimney House surpassed all our expectations! We had a great day, and it was the perfect setting for our brand workshop – the surroundings helped stimulate some healthy, creative debate!

What a great night, the Chimney House is very impressive and gets away from the stuffy boardroom/conference feel I detest so much – a great addition to the Sheffield scene. Congratulations.

Fabulous venue with 1st class food and hospitality!
Jed Fraser Comagogo
It is good to know that Sheffield now has a venue with pzazz.
Meeting facilities to be enjoyed, not just endured.
And so well rooted in its location. Tipping its hat with respect to its heritage, while looking forward to what lies ahead.
Where better to be inspired for creative business?
Or add a seasoning of fun to whatever the day’s work?
Jonny Douglas
What a venue, exquisite attention to detail & fantastic taste!

Wonderful launch event last night, Sheffield has been crying out for such a quality venue for an age.
Paul Gregory, Legal & Business Affairs Limited
Just a quick note to thank you and your team for a wonderful launch party yesterday
The rooms were stunning and the food was outstanding! The location is very convenient but set in quiet surroundings. I will certainly bear them in mind for future meetings
Jamie Lang. Finance Manager – Sheffield City Council Schools Statutory and Strategic Team
Yes everything went very well for us thank you very much, including the food, which was greatly praised (the freshness of the bread and the fillings). People definitely liked the room, the building generally, and the facilities such as being able to make coffee were greatly appreciated.
The frame around the screen received a lot of favourable comment! No doubt partially as a result of all this our meeting went very well too… no fights or even significant conflicts of opinions.
It was nice though to be able to celebrate the establishment of our new team under our staff re-structure by using the Chimney House for our inaugural team meeting
We would definitely use the Chimney House again

The Chimney House cleverly provides a creative, innovative and forward-thinking space with a clear nod to the heritage of the building and the city. The meeting room was therefore the perfect setting for our needs and topic of conversation. Everyone was impressed by the attention to detail. It is clear that a lot of effort and hard work has gone into make the Chimney House a unique meeting experience. We particularly loved the horn!

The Chimney House was a great place to shoot(film) A beautiful main room with its lovely design, layout and stylish mix of modern and old design perfectly captures the modern style of the city of Sheffield. It’s also very quiet and the shortbread’s yummy.
