Here's a great new independent business in Sheffield that collects food waste and produces compost. Just what we need for better soil health and less incineration.

What's stopping you @livenationuk.bsky.social?

Ticketmaster routinely adds up to 30% fees for a ticket at Sheffield City Hall, and facilitates dynamic pricing. A mandatory £1 levy on all LN promoted stadium, arena & larger festival tickets could do so much good

www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

There’s a £1 idea that could save small music venues. Is Live Nation holding it back?

Artists including Coldplay and Katy Perry have got behind a plan to fund small venues from big gigs – but owners say that without Live Nation on board, it could fail

Something about a 200 year old razor nudges a morning routine into the realm of reverie. Respect to the makers of Sheffield.

On a gray microfiber towel a straight razor with blade open about 45 degrees leans next to a bottle of aftershave and a jar of shave soap. A shave brush rests bristles-up in a green Wade ceramic pipe rest that features a brown Cairn Terrier.

It is pumpkin season in Sheffield!

There is a pumpkin picking event at Graves Park Animal Farm this weekend, with plenty to choose from.

Take a look at this great aerial shot from the team at Graves Park.
