The Light "cinema experience" shows big blockbusters, cinema classics, arts events and the fun concept of a "mystery screening", while you recline on comfortable and spacious armchairs. The café-bar has good views over The Moor and local area, and there are several restaurants next door.
Sheffield Institute of Arts
Showcases art from Sheffield Hallam University and the wider community, as well as visiting artists, with a focus on graphic design and contemporary fine art. Always challenging, often thought-provoking and moving. A visit to the gallery is complemented by exploring the SIA itself, which is in the beautifully repurposed central post office building 10 minutes' walk north on Fitzalan Square. It has a café and its own small exhibition space.
