Sheffield Green Drinks is a monthly social networking event for anyone in the Sheffield & South Yorkshire area interested in green issues and the environment.

The Event
Freeman College was founded in 2005 in the heart of Sheffield’s silversmithing and cutlery industry, and is named after the founder of the Settlement movement in Sheffield, Arnold Freeman.
The college offers a wide range of education and training to 16 to 25-year-olds with autistic spectrum disorders and developmental delay. It has several sites in and around Sheffield, including organically farmed land at Eyam.
The Sterling Works site is a former 18th century cutlery works converted by the college. It has spectacular modern facilities for on-site teaching, craft workshops, an organic coffee shop, a student refectory and a bakery.
The visit to Freeman College, Sterling Works will include a tour of the site and a talk about the college.
