Sheffield Forum

Sheffield Forum is the city's longest-running and most popular independent online community - a friendly, trusted and independent space where Sheffielders have come together since 2002 to talk about everything that matters in the Steel City.

With over 200,000 registered members, over 10 million posts, and hundreds of thousands of monthly readers, it's one of the biggest and most active local discussion forums in the UK. Every day, people use it to share news, promote events, discuss Sheffield life, get recommendations, and connect with others across the city.

It's also a thriving hub for local business. Small and independent businesses are welcome to post in the Business section and reply to requests for services completely free of charge, helping them build relationships and find new customers locally.

Beyond the forums, Sheffield Forum reaches hundreds of thousands of people every month across social media - including TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Threads - with locally focused videos, posts and updates celebrating Sheffield's people, history and culture.

For those wanting even more visibility, affordable advertising and sponsorship packages are available to reach Sheffield Forum's significant audience across the website, newsletters, social media, videos and more.
