At Hagglers Corner, we believe that the best things in life are grown, not manufactured. Our ethos is built on the idea of creative cultivation, providing a fertile ground where independent spirit, community connection, and authentic experiences can bloom. We aren't just a collection of businesses, we are a living, breathing ecosystem dedicated our core values:
- Championing the Independent: We are fierce advocates for the "little guy." Our building is a sanctuary for local makers, creators, and doers. By providing a home for diverse micro-businesses, we ensure that Sheffield’s unique creativity remains front and centre of everything we do. For our first 10 years, we had over 50% start-up businesses in our community, and have proudly watched many of them outgrow us!
- Connection Over Convenience: We value the power of the third space. Whether it’s a shared bench in the courtyard or a conversation over a coffee, we design our environment to foster proper human interaction and a sense of belonging. It’s special to us that we host a really wide range of events from live music, to djs, spoken word and craft nights, there’s something for everyone and we’ll welcome everyone who respects that.
- Sustainability & Soul: We believe in giving old spaces new life. Our repurposed aesthetic isn't just a style choice - it’s a commitment to sustainability and a respect for the heritage of our building. We prioritise quality, local sourcing, and a low-impact approach to everything we do. We are always looking for ways to reduce our footprint as we grow, and ways to keep it local through independent suppliers.
- Radical Inclusivity: The magic of Hagglers lies in its variety. From families and friends during the day to late-night revellers, music lovers and hardcore boogiers, our doors are open to everyone. We strive to be a welcoming home away from home and safe space for the entire Sheffield community. As long as you are prepared to treat others with respect, we welcome you with open arms. We take the safety of our customers really seriously around here, and our team is ready to respond if you ever feel unsafe.
- Improvement Mentality: We know being perfect is consistent work, and nothing can grow in a silo. We take pride in listening to feedback, being honest about our work and improving. We’re a venue for everyone and anyone who respects our ethos.
