Sheffield City Hall is a Grade II* listed building containing several venues, ranging from auditoria to a ballroom, in Sheffield, England.
The large hall dominates Barker's Pool, one of Sheffield's central squares, which also contains the city's War Memorial.
The building was designed in 1920 by E. Vincent Harris, but was not completed until 1934. It is a neo-classical building with a giant portico. The largest hall in the building, seating 2,271 people, is commanded by an angel's chorus. This provides both natural light to the main hall and can also be used by a hidden choir whose voices are carried through the building and down onto the audience.
In 2005, the City Hall and its surroundings were refurbished and re-developed at a cost of £12.5million.
The hall is managed by the Sheffield City Trust, under a 99 year lease.
