The Showroom opened in 1993 in the art deco Kennings car showroom beside the station and now runs four screens of independent, world and archive cinema, plus festivals including Sheffield DocFest.

Its café-bar is a Sheffield institution in its own right, and Site Gallery is next door — an easy cultural pairing right by Sheaf Square.

Highlights

  • Four independent screens
  • Art deco former car showroom
  • Home of DocFest
