The Sheffield Antiques Quarter is a hub for independent & creative businesses & that ethos has attracted many street artists into the area to commit their skills to the walls (or shopfronts or shutters & more). Take a day to wander round your favourite shops, have a bite of food & a beer on the way in-between; we've picked out a few of the artworks to get you started.
Rocket01's 'Big Walls' series continues with this beautiful mural entitled 'Visions of the Future' situated opposite the iconic Abbeydale Picture House.
Just over the road is Pirate Ship which specialises in vintage sportswear, OG streetwear & Graffiti supplies. Their shutter is painted by MistOne, an original Sheffield Graffiti legend. You might need to head down before opening hours to check this one out!
On the side of Pirate Ship you'll find a cheeky Cement Bootz artwork, viewable at any time.
Dotted around the quarter you can find bollards which artist Colorarti has transformed into these friendly creatures. See if you can catch them all... I found this one outside the Picture House Social.
Find Mila K's substantial sci-fi warrior mural behind The Vaults off Sheldon Road.
Finish your art trail at Hop Hideout featuring Tom J Newell's artwork on the outside & logo designed by Kev Grey; then call in for a well-earned beer.
