À propos
Faits rapides: Over 2,000 plants from around the world thrive inside this 70-meter long glasshouse, making it one of the largest urban winter gardens in Europe. The arched timber roof soars 22 meters high and uses no internal supports, creating an airy canopy of steel and wood.
Points forts: The roof is built from sustainably sourced Siberian larch, a wood so naturally resilient it requires no chemical treatments to withstand the damp heat inside. On a grey Sheffield afternoon, the light filtering through those wooden ribs turns the whole space into a golden cathedral of greenery.
Conseils d'initiés
- Visit on a rainy afternoon when the glass roof creates the perfect dry sanctuary with a soft drumming soundtrack overhead.
- The best photo spot is from the mezzanine level inside the adjacent Millennium Gallery, looking down over the canopy.
- Grab a coffee from the cafe inside the connected Millennium Gallery and find one of the curved wooden benches near the central fountain.
- Check the public events calendar, the space occasionally hosts free yoga sessions and plant sales among the greenery.
