The former Central Technical School – now Sheffields Leopold Hotel – was filled with Christmas Cheer on Wednesday as the festive get-together brought almost 70 past pupils and partners gathered for an afternoon of stories and reminiscing about the old days when they were pupils at the school.

We put on a spread of tasty home-made soups, sandwiches and delicious mulled wine with mince pies to welcome our guests in from the cold Sheffield weather! And the Old Boys stayed late into the afternoon in the welcoming environment of our Lounge Bar area.

Old Boys of Sheffield Technical College Christmas Reunion

The Leopold Hotel is proud that the Old Boys society still return every second Wednesday of the month to meet in the hotel and we really love hearing all their stories and seeing the various memorabilia they have to show us. We hope they keep coming back again and again!

A great day was had by all involved, staff and guests alike!
