Recent additions to the city's leisure scene include [[Leopold Square]], situated just off the northern end of West Street and [[Millennium Square, Sheffield|Millennium Square]], which are home to several restaurants offering international cuisine. Aagrah, an Indian restaurant in the square which serves [[Kashmiri cuisine]], was prior to 2014 voted "Best Restaurant Group in the UK" at the [[British Curry Awards]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Sheffield Restaurants & Bars – Leopold Square |url=http://www.leopoldsquare.com/sheffield-restaurants#aagrah |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005005617/http://www.leopoldsquare.com/sheffield-restaurants#aagrah |archive-date=5 October 2013 |access-date=3 October 2013 |publisher=Leopoldsquare.com}}</ref>

The repertoire at two nearby places can vary widely, and woe betide those who try to strike up a 'foreign' carol. Some are unaccompanied, some have a piano or organ, there is a flip chart with the words on in one place, a string quartet (quintet, sextet, septet) accompanies the singing at another, some encourage soloists, others stick to audience participation, a brass band plays at certain events, the choir takes the lead at another.<ref>{{cite web |first1=Frazer |last1=Jarvis |first2=Pat |last2=Malham |title=Introduction to Local Carols around Sheffield |url=http://www.localcarols.org.uk/intro.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160627121650/http://www.localcarols.org.uk/intro.php |archive-date=27 June 2016 |access-date=7 September 2016 |website=localcarols.org.uk}}</ref>
