Forget the presentations and put the networking pitches away – unLTD Business and Sheffield Business Runners are joining forces for a festive celebration at The Victoria this November.
With the unLTD Business Awards now in May 2027 and not in their previous traditional festive slot this year, we've decided to do something a little different to round off 2026.
We're teaming up with our friends at Sheffield Business Runners to host the Sheffield Business Christmas Feast, bringing together the city's business community for an evening of fantastic food, drinks, music and good company.
Taking place on Friday 27 November at The Victoria in Neepsend, the event promises a proper festive knees-up, with a sit-down feast followed by plenty of time to catch up, celebrate and let our hair down.
And the best bit? Everyone's welcome.
Whether you're a regular at unLTD events, a familiar face at Sheffield Business Runners, or simply someone who enjoys being part of Sheffield's thriving business community, we'd love you to join us.
A festive feast worth getting together for
The team at The Victoria has put together a fantastic seasonal menu, with a few special touches to make this a Christmas dinner to remember.
We'll kick things off with fresh baguettes and salted butter before moving on to the main event – spit-roasted Gressingham duck, brined for 48 hours with orange and anise, served with plum jus and bread sauce.
Vegetarian guests can enjoy a cauliflower and Tunworth cheese pie with roast shallot gravy.
There'll be all the trimmings, too, including crispy roast potatoes, braised red cabbage with apples, and maple and sherry vinegar roasted parsnips.
And to finish? Chocolate mousse with whipped cream, sherry almonds and boozy prunes.
Vegan and gluten-free requirements can also be accommodated when requested at the time of booking.
After dinner, the evening continues with music, drinks and plenty of conversation until midnight.
Celebrating Sheffield's business community
It's been another busy year for unLTD, with our Business Expo, breakfasts, working lunches and networking events bringing hundreds of people together from across the region.
But while helping people make connections, share ideas and grow their businesses is a big part of what we do, we also believe there's something equally important about the social side of business.
Sometimes it's nice to get together without an agenda.
Phil Turner, managing director of unLTD Business, said: "We've had a brilliant year of events and we've loved seeing the business community come together. But not every gathering needs to involve a speaker, a panel discussion or a room full of business cards.
"Some of the best connections happen when people are simply enjoying themselves, and that's what we want this evening to be about.
"We've got a great relationship with Sheffield Business Runners, so joining forces for a big Christmas celebration felt like the perfect way to finish the year.
"Whether you come with your whole team, a couple of colleagues or on your own, you're guaranteed a warm welcome. It should be a cracking night!"
