Sheffield’s newest sports bar, BOX, is teaming up with the Sheffield Bears Ice Hockey Club—the UK’s largest university ice hockey club—for an exclusive public event, the Sheffield Shootout.

This thrilling pop-up challenge will take place on Saturday, November 16th from 10am on 19-21 Barker’s Pool in Sheffield city centre, just outside the soon-to-open BOX venue. BOX officially opens to the public on Saturday, November 23rd.

On the day, members of the public will have the rare opportunity to take a shot against a fully padded goalkeeper from the Sheffield Bears first team.
