1. Browse through the blooming flowers in one of Sheffield’s flower shops:

Lockwoods Florists, 35 Surrey St, stump.random.acted [whatthreewords location code].

Along Surrey Street, a street coming off of the central city shopping strip, this flower shop has crates of blooming flowers lining the street.

2. Have an outside snack at Marmadukes, Norfolk Row:

22 Norfolk Row, aura.coffee.ever.

Down the road from the flower shop is the Norfolk Row Marmaduke’s. Although there are many seats inside, the outside tables are perfect for summer brunching.

3. Book a buggy ride around the Chatsworth House gardens:

The perfect way to view the entire gardens at Chatsworth House, and enjoy the summer sun whislt being out of the heat and under the cover of the buggy roof.

4. Sip a smoothie at Copper Pot:

68 Division Street, tiny.upset.winner.

Take a seat at one of the outside tables situated in the centre of a blocked off road, and enjoy a summer-y smoothie.

5. Grab a granola at Marmaduke’s, Cambridge Street:

42 Cambridge Street, mime.harsh.stuck.

The deconstructed granola bowl at Marmaduke’s is the perfect summer breakfast. With a mini glass of milk, available in alternative milks, and a pot of jam and yogurt, this granola is a build-your-own quick breakfast before heading outside and enjoying summer in the city.

6. Converse over 2-4-1 cocktails with a friend at Turtle Bay:

18 Holly Street, firms.wage.pitch.

With a selection of cocktails and mocktails, turtle bay offers two-for-one on all of their cocktails during the day and after 7pm. There is a large seating area outside, perfect for a bottomless brunch or an evening catch up with friends.

7. Take a trip to a coffee shop and wander the city with an iced coffee:

With an iced coffee and my tote bag, I am always ready to explore the city, wandering down side roads with little cafes and shops that I hadn’t seen before. Cambridge Street hosts a lot of little outdoor seats, that are perfect to rest on and take in some sun rays.

8. Or visit Albie’s for a sit-in iced coffee:

22 Snig Hill, invite.toxic.healthier.

With outdoor and indoor seating options, Albie’s Coffee is the perfect location for a trip slightly outside of the central hub of the city centre.

9. Get a Greek salad at Ego’s:

88 Surrey Street, tubes.actors.ends.

Finally, the Greek salad at Ego is the perfect Summer meal. The mix of vegetables and feta make for the ideal holiday-feeling food, and the location looks into the famous Sheffield Winter Gardens.

There really is no better way to spend a summer day than being outside exploring and enjoying the sun.
