About
Housed in the listed Osborn Works in Sheffield's trendy Kelham Island/Neepsend neighbourhood, Church - Temple of Fun is an exciting venture from Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oliver Sykes.
Osborn Works is the only industrial building designed by famed Victorian architect William John Hale, who was responsible for some the cities iconic churches, it's only fitting that on the eve of the building's 100th anniversary in 2018, it was reborn as Church - Temple of Fun.
The venue decor is both unique and quirky, inspired by South American religious iconography - with a twist. Church has a 100% vegan bar and restaurant, which will satisfy the taste buds of vegans and omni's alike.
Over drinks you can lose yourself in a variety of games, from retro arcade machines, pool, interactive darts or free Playstation 4 pods.
Drinks can be enjoyed inside or outside on our balcony terrace overlooking the River Don, it's particularly great in the summer watching the wildlife. We have spotted kingfishers, herons, bats and otters to name a few.
We can also accomodate a 220 capacity live music venue, keep checking the calendar page and social media channels to be the first to hear about all upcoming events. The first major live event hosted back in July 2018 was by Toddla T for Sheffield's Tramlines festival featuring, which also included a surprise DJ set from Radio 1's Annie Mac.
Bring Me The Horizon, Deaf Havana, Static Dress and Mouth Culture have all performed here amongst many other great artists and DJs. We also host free movie nights, gaming days, and art evenings.
NEW FOR 2026: Our exciting new upper level expansion is now complete and home to the Catacombs, a truly unique private hire space and interactive darts which can be booked online.
