Each November, over a hundred creative residents at Yorkshire Artspace's two buildings open their doors to the public for Open Studios weekend. It's your chance to meet some of Sheffield's talented artists, nosy around their creative workplaces in the city centre, and even make a head start on your Christmas shopping by buying directly from them.
As well as going behind-the-scenes, the two sites will also host exhibitions over the weekend, with art created by members of the Yorkshire Artspace creative community.
You'll find Persistence Works near Site Gallery (the first purpose-built studio complex in the UK), over the road from the Rutland Arms, while Exchange Place is over in Castlegate, close to Victoria Quays, in a former department store.
Persistence Works: 21 Brown Street, S1 2BS
Exchange Place Studios: Exchange Street, S2 5TR
