Channing Hall is a Grade II listed function hall on Surrey Street in Sheffield city centre (S1 2LG). It is part of the Upper Chapel estate and dates from 1882, with Italianate glazed tile walls and an open timber roof. The hall measures 17m by 10m and holds up to 120 guests, with its own sound system, wireless microphone, and Wi-fi. A kitchen is available on the first floor of the adjoining Hollis Building, and there is a smaller meeting room for up to 20 people. The Chapel next door seats up to 320 if you need a larger space for a ceremony or concert.
What suits the space
The hall is on the second floor, reached by a spiral staircase or lift. This means inflatables and large equipment are not practical here, but there is plenty that works well in a space like this. For weddings and adult celebrations, a magic selfie mirror or 360 photo booth makes good use of the room, and our AI photo booth is a popular choice for corporate events. Add a candy floss cart or popcorn cart with staff included. For company events or team socials, Batak Pro reaction games and arcade games like Atari Pong and dance arcade machines are easy to set up on the second floor.
Children's parties
For children's parties, side games such as giant Connect 4 and giant Jenga work well indoors, and soft play sets (jungle, pirate, and princess themes) fit comfortably in the hall.
DB Entertainment's warehouse is in Rotherham, about 15 minutes from Sheffield city centre. Every hire includes delivery, setup, and collection, plus £5 million public liability insurance and risk assessments if the venue asks for them. We own 95% of our equipment, so there is one team from booking to collection, and our 5/5 Google rating from 209+ reviews is built on events like these. We've been supplying photo booths, arcade games and side games at venues across Sheffield for over 25 years, so we know how to make a city-centre hall like this work. It looks like a great spot for weddings, christenings and memorable life events, and we're looking forward to supplying events there.
