00:00What do you think the best visitor attraction is in Sheffield?
00:03Well, snooker.
00:05What about the rest of the year when we haven't got the snooker on?
00:07Yeah, I know. Well, at the moment in time, I don't know.
00:10If you could go back to the 60s, there was a lot of attractions, weren't there?
00:15I mean, the Peace Gardens was beautiful, which they still are.
00:18Old Town was where everyone met, but Meadowall squashed out.
00:22It changed the city for, not for the better, I don't think.
00:26But there's up-and-coming parts of Sheffield, but there's also a very down-and-down part of Sheffield.
00:31So I don't really know what the main attractions now are.
00:34You like the Peace Gardens, though?
00:36Yeah, I like the Peace Gardens, and I like Fargate now. That's come up again.
00:41Yeah, it's got some good points.
00:43When you see the video before the snooker, it makes Sheffield look great.
00:49Where do you think the best visitor attraction is in Sheffield?
00:52I think the City Hall, because we've been to the City Hall so many times.
00:59I've heard dance bands, and I've heard symphony orchestras, and there's nothing finer.
01:07But in my mind, you know, but it's the people.
01:14It's the people that make Sheffield, always have done.
01:19Do you think the best visitor attraction is in and around Sheffield?
01:21In my opinion, it's the Peak District.
01:23I love going hiking and things like that, and so I come up here, pick some friends from here.
01:28Obviously, it's not in Sheffield, but it's on the outskirts, and for me, it's free.
01:32You can get out there, go for a nice walk and play your head and everything like that.
01:35So for me, yeah, I come up here mostly for the Peak District.
01:39Could you tell me what you think the best visitor attraction is in and around Sheffield?
01:42So the best visitor attraction, I would say, is like the arena for all the different kind
01:49of shows.
01:50It's also like Meadowhall, a big shopping centre where you've got everything.
01:56You've got your arcade, you've got cinemas, you've got your food, and all different range
02:01of round of shops as well.
02:02So I'd say they're one of the best visitor attractions.
02:04So I'd say they're one of the best visitors.
