Park Hill Tour – Walk the Streets in the Sky

Park Hill has been a visible landmark on the Sheffield skyline for over 60 years. It is considered of international importance due to being the first built example of external access decks (known as Streets in the Sky) and was awarded Grade II* listing in 1998. There followed a regeneration scheme, twice shortlisted for the Stirling prize for architecture in 2013 and 2024, which continues today. It is also culturally prominent, having featured in film, tv, music, artworks and on stage.

Park Hill Residents’ Association invite you on our resident-led 90 minute tour to walk the Streets in the Sky. You will learn about the history of Park Hill, its inspirations, its architectural concepts and details, the people involved in its story, and gain an insight into life here today. A spring or summer visit is the perfect time to see our gardens in bloom and to take in the views over the city and to the countryside beyond.

Tours run every Saturday between April and August at 10:30 and 13:30.  There are also evening tours on selected Thursdays at 18:00.  Please see our booking site for full details.
