Graves Park Sheffield: Delight as the Rose Garden Cafe reopens for sit-in customers after demolition battle

The iconic Rose Garden Cafe in Graves Park, Sheffield, has reopened for sit in diners and coffee-drinkers after an extensive period of closure.

For months now, the cafe has been operating on a takeaway only basis, after it was forced to close.

Campaigners fought off demolition plans to save the building and now a partnership between the Friends of Graves Park, Save The Rose Garden Cafe campaign and Sheffield City Council is working to improve the site.

The Star's Harry Harrison spoke with Caroline Dewar and Gertie Whitfield from Friends of Graves Park about the reopening.
