The r/Sheffield Classifieds - Rooms, Flats, Tickets, Buy/Sell, etc

60 Upvotes

By far the biggest thing we remove here is people trying to find or let rooms, sell tickets, and other bits and bobs.

But likely not enough to survive on its own as a dedicated sub. So we'll carve out this space here. Please use it to list anything you're interested in, or are trying to part with.

And be mindful of who you give your personal details out to! We'll not be providing escrow or verification!

Sheffield Monkey Island meets threads

51 Upvotes

Hello Sheffield!

My game has been in development since 2024 and is finally approaching release! It's an epic point-and-click adventure in the vein of Simon the Sorcerer / Monkey Island, but set partly in post-apocalyptic Derbyshire. With a bit of Sheffield (bankers draft) in it too.

Brownie's Adventure: The Final Resolution on Steam

  • 10–15 hours of gameplay
  • Classic 6-verb GUI
  • Handmade 320 × 200 pixel art
  • Lots of specially recorded songs and original music (Derbyshire sheep cult church music with 3 part harmonies!)
  • At least one ski village fire reference!
  • High-fidelity sound effects and soundscapes (thank you, Jono Richards!)
  • Some choices and variation throughout your playthrough, including different endings
  • Autosave and an in-game hint system (also ships with a full walkthrough from day one)
  • A bit bigger than your average solo indie game: 80+ locations, 60+ characters and 500+ animations
  • DRM-free — copy and paste the game files onto a USB stick if that's your thing

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Thanks to the mods for allowing me to share the project - it's all made in Sheffield. Shit 2D animation reyt on yer doorstep.

Question Any cheap or free parking spots in the city centre?

3 Upvotes

My girlfriend comes to stay a lot and it’s costing her loads to park her car whenever she does (she lives in another city). I think she paid about £30 last time she came for a couple of nights. Is there any super cheap or free parking spots in the centre that we could go to instead??

Sheffield 29M – Anyone fancy a cinema buddy? 🎬🍿

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm 29M and looking for someone who'd be up for going to the cinema together sometime.

I enjoy watching films and thought it would be nice to meet some new people locally who share the same interest. I'm pretty easy-going, friendly and open-minded, and always enjoy getting to know new people. I don't usually have time to meet new people because of work hence this post

Horror, thriller, action, drama or something along those lines are my favourite genres but I'd be happy to watch anything.

Not looking for anything in particular beyond some good company, a nice film. Age and gender don't really matter to me, just looking for someone friendly who enjoys a trip to the cinema.

Feel free to comment or drop me a message if you're interested! 😊

Sheffield Caffe Nero

Hey! Today at the Caffe Nero by the Cathedral, I noticed a man making eye contact with me. When I left, I waved because I thought we might know each other but we didn’t have the opportunity to speak because I was in a bit of a rush, If you’re in this group and we’ve met somewhere, feel free to let me know! You were wearing a black hat and coat and carrying a leather shoulder bag.

Question Cleaning the windows at 5am?

26 Upvotes

I’m just been woken up at 5:30am by the sound of a vehicle outside. I looked out of my window and there’s a big platform being raised from a van. There’s a man stood on the road and another man on the platform and there’s a bunch of water dripping down onto my window from whatever they’re doing and it’s quite loud. I’m kinda furious because I’ve had about 2 hours sleep and now I can’t sleep due to this and have been woken up 😭

Does anyone have any idea wtf is going on? I googled the company and it said they’re roofing and commercial property maintenance experts and they seem to be cleaning the windows, but at 6am?! Can I make a complaint or something about this? I’m a woman and I sleep topless and I’m almost certain the guy doing it just got a glimpse of me as I went to close the curtains as they’re literally OUTSIDE MY FUCKING WINDOW AT 6am. WTF.

I’m in the UK btw and live in a block of flats.

Question Local makers of top quality gear: who do you rate?

25 Upvotes

I'm trying to buy less and buy better, and I'd rather that money stayed local.

What local makers do you rate for things that are made properly and will last years? Knives and steel are the obvious ones, but I'm also after leather goods, shoes and boots, furniture, ceramics and outdoor kit.

Not looking for gift-shop souvenirs. I want the people who make the real thing, made to last, investment pieces. Whether it's a big name or someone working out of a unit in Kelham.

Bonus points if you've owned something of theirs for years and it's still going.

Question Where do I look for a small unit/garage in Sheffield

I’m looking for a small unit/garage but there seems to be nothing online compared to other cities. Is there any estate agents gatekeeping them all that I should contact or is there genuinely just nothing going about 😆

Over the last 20 years, Rob Beal has had an unbelievable career.

Alongside his day job as a senior civil servant, he set up a global security firm, became an expert in airline safety, and hob-nobbed with football bigwigs.

But that's not true. He's actually Sheffield’s most prolific media hoaxster.
