Wheel of Sheffield, Ferris wheel at The Moor, Sheffield, England
The Wheel of Sheffield is a Ferris wheel at The Moor featuring 18 gondolas that accommodate up to six passengers each. The structure rises approximately 21 meters and offers views over the city center and surrounding districts.
The wheel began operating in July 2009 on Fargate before being relocated to London's Hyde Park in October 2010. This move marked the end of its original deployment in Sheffield.
The wheel serves as a focal point during Sheffield's winter celebrations and market season. It has become a recognized landmark where locals and visitors gather to enjoy the festive atmosphere and city views together.
The wheel is positioned between buildings on The Moor and easily accessible from the city center. Visitors should know that views are best during clear weather and operating times vary by season.
The wheel featured approximately 10,000 lights that illuminated its structure after dark. This lighting transformed The Moor into a glowing focal point of the city center during evening hours.
