- The pub hosted fan queues, archive artwork and limited-edition merchandise.
- The takeover marked the band’s civic honour in their home city.

## Summary

Fans queued for the midday opening of a Pulp-themed pop-up pub in Sheffield, as the band temporarily took over the Hallamshire Hotel. The event marked Pulp receiving a civic honour at Sheffield Town Hall and brought the group’s history back to a venue where they first played in 1980.

The pub featured posters and artwork from the band’s archive, alongside limited-edition T-shirts, posters and records for sale. Nick Banks and Candida Doyle met fans before the ceremony, while Jarvis Cocker recalled that he had been too young to enter a pub when Pulp first played there. The Sheffield event follows a similar Pulp pub residency in Manchester in August.
