Up near the top entrance to Meersbrook Park, Spinning Discs along with it's next-door neighbour Wild Loaves, make for a very inviting spot. Fuel up with fresh bread, coffee and soup at Wild Loaves, ready for a good browse of the vinyl Spinning Discs has on offer.
Since opening the record shop in April 2015, owner Martin Black has lovingly created an open and atmospheric space for customers to browse without the (sometimes overwhelming) pressure to buy. Passion is the driving force behind Spinning Discs – passion for music, passion for vinyl (the shop even offers a vinyl cleaning service on Tuesdays and Wednesdays) and also passion for Sheffield.
Whether you're after a specific record to complete your collection or are simply looking for a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, Spinning Discs' eclectic mix of genres and constant turnover of records – a mix of new and reissues, with select second-hand items – should keep you satisfied. The shop has a great egalitarian vibe, too, with local bands placed on the racks alongside long established household names like Cat Stevens and David Bowie, and the occasional live in-store event.
