by The Steel Cauldron in Sheffield, England, United Kingdom

When the Twin Towers of Tinsley fell a dark age swept across the land.

After years of austerity, Brexit and high street collapse the magic of Sheffield has begun to wane.   You can either sit back and accept this torrid turn of events, or go where others fear to tread, and join us on a noble quest to bring shine back to Sheffield and magic to the muggles.  The Steel Cauldron will be a touchy feely, weirdly wizardy experience, shop and tearoom that no soulless internet demon can defeat!   Together we can set up something uniquely Yorkshire and magnetically magical that will bring people from across the kingdom to the banks of the river Sheaf.  

The Steel city will once again rise to reclaim it’s crown as the most magical place in the World!

Unlikely heroes emerge

Nikki has been a "Potterhead" before JK Rowling wrote her first book whilst Rob had a secret love of dungeons and dragons and fantasy things long before geek became chic.  Now in our early forties we are happy to embrace our wizardy weirdness and are leaving the mundane, muggle, myopia to bring some magical madness to Sheffield. 

What is The Steel Cauldron?

The Steel Cauldron will be a multi experience, shop and tea room aimed at all people who want to escape reality and have some fun.  

There will be loads of magical crafts for adults and children


and wizardy classes like herbology

and wand making and skills

We will also have lot's of wizardy games, jigsaws and lego to play with 

alongside a "tech zone" where wizardy VR experiences await

and a wonderful tea shop that will serve a host of magical treats

To top this off we will stock a range of Official Harry Potter merch and other magical curiosities. 

We will have an alcohol licence and will be opening some evenings for fully grown wizard time. 

There is also a themed 3 bed apartment stuffed with magical games, books, curiosities, and DVDs ideal for a short family break (even if you live in Sheffield).

Will you join our fellowship and become a founding member of the Cauldron Club? 

We are aiming to open The Steel Cauldron on the 23rd May in Broomhill, Sheffield. Get early access as the cauldron first begins to bubble, beat the queues, get gift vouchers, membership or even reserve your stay as one of our first guests at the Steel Wizards Rest.
