Past Events
We pride ourselves on providing a varied selection of events. Take a look at our previously organised networking and social events.
THURSDAY 7 JULY 2011 - DESTINATION:SHEFFIELD?
Lifestyle, Opportunities and Regeneration in Sheffield from an LGBT Perspective
Sheffield.
What do LGBT people outside of the city think when they hear the name? Football? Steel industry? Sean Bean?!
What do LGBT people in Sheffield think of the city? What does the city have that others don't? What does it lack that others have in abundance?
And importantly what can we do to improve matters?
Join Sheffield Out of Office for a lively debate including representatives from all perspectives on these issues, including tourism, culture, commerce and of course YOU.
Adam, Harry and Rich will be leading a debate on what Sheffielders see as the pros and cons of the city and the much debated Scene here, and what we want to see the city providing in the future to secure lucrative and essential external visitors to our city.
Please RSVP below.
