Harmony Works at Canada House: Tours

Canada House, 11 Commercial Street, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S1 2AT

  • Multiple dates available
  • In person
  • Pre-booking required

Guided tour of the Victorian grandeur of Canada House, once the headquarters of the Sheffield United Gas Light Company. Learn about its colourful history: its role in WWII; its reincarnation as an 80s nightclub; and then a Chinese Buffet in the 2000s

Harmony Works is thrilled to open Canada House to the public to share the fascinating history of this grand Victorian building, and to celebrate its exciting future as a new centre for youth music education in Sheffield.

Our tours will take visitors to the old first floor offices - including the stunning painted boardroom - and the ground floor main hall where visitors will marvel at the beautiful domed ceiling.

Please note that the tour on Saturday 20th September is designed as an accessible tour, and will only cover the ground floor.
