Revealed behind original factory doors on a historic ground floor of a building built in 1889. The Mowbray is an independent private events space for 200+ guests that has been 3 years in the making. We’re proud to present a historic yet modern setting for daily meetings, away days, training sessions and conferencing as well as hosting the most beautiful occasions for all of life’s celebrations from weddings, anniversaries and birthdays.
The Mowbray embodies the boldness of British architecture with the softness of beautiful and thoughtful interior design and a gentle narrative of luxurious styling and environment.
Dedicated to representing life and style through beautifully crafted events, The Mowbray draws together an appreciation of finding joy in simple pleasures and collections of experiences that ultimately lead to a feeling of belonging and comfortableness.
The Mowbray is an infant of our creativity and fondness for new ways. It is also born of our experience both in hospitality and design. We created The Chimney House on Kelham Island over eight years ago and we’re incredibly proud to reveal our new concept The Mowbray.
Our aim is to inspire you with hospitality, great food and drink, architecture and design that feels cosmopolitan and meaningful, yet down to earth and accessible.
Interior Architecture
A restoration project that has spanned 3 years, The Mowbray is a culmination of hard work, endeavour and spirit to transform two derelict buildings into one that champions our Sheffield heritage through bricks and mortar, feeling and soul.
The entire restoration has been masterminded by our award winning agency 93 who sit in a state of the art studio in the rafters above The Mowbray. From here we have created bespoke furniture and lighting designs especially for The Mowbray including chandeliers, wall lights, the bar, tables et al. These designs have been made in our Kelham Island workshops - a few steps away from The Mowbray. Antiques and key pieces have been sourced for their beauty and story - as well as bringing a feeling of deluxe choice and originality. We've been collecting pieces for this very purpose for years and each piece has been restored in our workshops.
Luxe Enough
Luxuriously complete - The Mowbray team are experts in making it all happen. We work with some of the leading names in life and style who assist us to create events with soul. We look after everything from venue styling, table settings, floral abundance, food and consultations, bespoke cocktails and carefully curated wines and beers.
Our ethos over the last 8 years at The Chimney House has been 'let us look after you' and this forms the foundation of The Mowbray. We encourage you to luxuriate in the knowledge that time and style are on your side and we will attend to the smallest of details with creativity, flair and an understanding of simple beauty and elegance.
Neepsendian
We’re proud to be based in Neepsend - rich in Industry and honest trade - it’s the sort of place where you can stumble upon real heritage and ‘old ways’ of an industrial area and see new beginnings of a new generation start to appear and flourish.
We’re really relishing exploring and living in our area. We’re right across the rooftops and over the river as the crow flies to our first love - The Chimney House - nestled on the waterways of Kelham Island. But The Mowbray is truly a Neepsendian. We’ve become fascinated by Neepsend - even through we’ve been working on the building for years - there are still wonders to behold - the rush of a secret cargo train, unexpected pathways and the ability to plunge into wildlife and foliage via the weirs waterway network at any given time. We love it round here - as you really feel connected to the City on a physical level yet detached enough in spirit to feel wild and spontaneous.
Neepsend has a historical pleasure that we’ve latched onto with gusto. Intriguing tales and stories that span back to when time began fill us with delight - especially a Nordic connection and the architecture of landscapes that have risen and fallen through the ages. Discoveries and artefacts found in the locale give us inspiration and make us eager to preserve and document.
