A little history … 

Martha Heritage was founded in 2012 by Anna from a desire to inject something bright and new into the neighbourhood for the local people of Sheffield whilst gaining some work/life balance with a growing family.

In 2015 Josh joined when family circumstances made Anna think she may have to close, by 2016 a fabulous bond had formed and our working partnership was cemented.

In 2018 we were fortunate to be able to be part of purchasing the shop next door and in May 2019 Heritage Lifestyle, a local independent department store was born.

Shop

Before the doors opened for the first time in 2012 Anna knew she only wanted quality brands in the shop and this continues to be our ethos.

Since 2013 we have been proud stockists of Annie Sloan paints and accessories - we carry the full range and have been trained by Annie Sloan herself at her Oxfordshire Headquaters. We will be delighted to give you advice and tips on your home painting projects or why not take in a paint techniques workshop with us?

We take a lot of care, time and pride in personally selecting everything that we sell in our shop, so much so that you will find many items in our own homes. Our range is a wonderful mix of furniture, beautiful locally sourced candles and room fragrances, decorative accessories, giftware, loungewear and much more.

It is important to us that we work with local as well as independent brands where possible to help support small businesses like ours, offering high quality and unique items to you.

Martha's Café

We have a bustling café at the back of the shop called Martha's.  Named after Anna's Great Gran, Martha Heritage. It is a popular meeting place for our local customers and a welcome break for those that have travelled to visit us. We have a wonderful selection of tasty breakfasts, lunches, afternoon teas - our scones are said to be the best around! and amazing cakes too. All our food is prepared fresh on the premises; our scones and cakes are all home-baked. Since the day we opened Chocolate Guinness Cake has been our customers’ favourite. Over the years we have added new cakes that give the favourite a run for its money – we believe we have something for everyone. Which one will you try first?

We want you to know that all our teas and coffees are sourced from small local Sheffield businesses.

Lifestyle

We are very keen to make Heritage Lifestyle a destination for our customers beyond the shop and café. When we moved to our new and larger premises we were able to realise our vision.

Located above us you will find Renaissant - a long-established hair, beauty and nail salon offering expert Wella colour services, Henna brows, lash lifting and aesthetic treatments.

To top the building off we have The Wellbeing Loft. A popular meeting space to hire not only for our local community but as an out of town space for training events.
