Design studio Eleven created Our Favourite Places in 2010 as an independent love letter to Sheffield. The aim was to let others in on what makes the city special, bring perceptions of Sheffield up to date, and encourage people to visit. Since then, the team at Eleven, along with some great writers and photographers (who you'll meet below), have produced this website, published four editions of the OFP guidebook (currently sold out – edition five coming soon!), and made a series of short films, prints, tours and postcards of this lovely, hilly city.

Our Favourite Places has previously been supported by Arts Council England alongside the Sheffield Culture Consortium, Welcome to Sheffield, and the University of Sheffield.
