Join us and help create a new opportunity to celebrate live music, live arts and living heritage.

First built as the Bull and Mouth Inn around 1790. At other times known as the Boulogne, Tap and Spile and most recently the Tap & Barrel. Join us to reimagine this historic pub as an inclusive, creative place for people to come together, share ideas, and to enjoy and participate in music, arts, media and heritage?

Through workshops, discussions and interactive displays, discover the stories, voices and memories connected to the Bull and Mouth / Tap & Barrel and the wider Castlegate neighbourhood. Share your memories, exchange ideas about the possible futures for the building, and find out more about opportunities to get involved.

Sheffield Live! is working with a Live Projects team of architecture students from the University of Sheffield to explore the building's heritage, future options and its relationship to an evolving part of the city centre. The event will showcase work so far and provide opportunities for participants to contribute ideas and feedback.
