Officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 22 May 2003, Sheffield's Winter Gardens are the largest to be built in over 100 years.

Part of the £120m Heart of the City regeneration project that has created the Peace Gardens and the £15m Millennium Gallaries, the Winter Gardens were designed by Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects and are some 70 metres long and 21 metres high.
