Sheffield Castle – Authentic and Accessible Using Physical Models to Broaden Access to Sheffield’s Heritage

Sheffield Castle

This exhibition will make our latest understanding of the form and scale of Sheffield Castle at the beginning of the 16th century accessible to everyone, including the blind/visually impaired.

Professor John Moreland and creative partner Lucas Bax have worked together to construct a 1:150 scale model of Sheffield Castle in its late medieval heyday.

Placed in the context of the contemporary Castlegate model, this will bring home the reality and authenticity of the castle and transfer knowledge into the physical realm.

Visitors will be able to explore models of the castle and 3D printed panels that capture the detail of the stone walls through touch, as well as immerse themselves in the castles history though augmented reality with video and animations created by the Human Studio.

Opening times Tuesday–Saturday: 10am–5pm (closed Mondays) Sunday: 11am–4pm
