The foxy Saturday's hang out at The Rutland Hotel Sheffield!

Chart topping girl band the Saturdays recently stayed at the Rutland Hotel Sheffield while on route to another of their gigs!!

The hotel was shown on their tv series on BBC3, with the girls having fun practising thier dance routines in the corridoors and relaxing in the hotel bedrooms.

Hotel Manager Jason Horton commented "The girls were really lovely! I am a huge fan, and it was great to meet them all, especially Frankie!"

The Saturdays are just one of many groups who hang out at the city hotel. Being just on the outskirts of Sheffield, its easier for famous guests to hang out out without being bothered for autographs and photos.

Its a hidden gem!

Kate Manterfield and Marjorie Jones were born on the same Sheffield street and have been pals for 85 years, with their friendship lasting through World War Two and outlasting both their marriages.Marjorie, aged 89, emigrated to Canada in 1952, but the pair kept in touch, phoning and writing regularly and taking turns to visit each other every year. They reunited at Kate's 90th birthday party at the Rutland Hotel in Broomhill.Kate and Marjorie were both born on Nottingham Street, Pitsmoor, and attended the same Sunday School. They both married in 1942, Marjorie to husband Elwyn at Crookes Baptist Church, and Kate to entertainer Leslie Manterfield at All Saints Church, Brightside.Leslie performed as a magician, appearing on cruise liners such as the QE2, and also took his act to The Moor in Sheffield as part of an event called The Moor The Merrier.Kate later joined him, making up the duo The Manterfields."I used to sing, and also I did a memory act on my own," she said. "He was very well-liked."Majorie was a bridesmaid at her friend's wedding day - but Kate was unable to return the gesture as she was fulfilling bridesmaid duties at her brother Ralph's wedding.After working for Sheffield accountants Poppleton and Appleby for 40 years, Kate set up her own hairdressing business at home, which she ran until the age of 82.Marjorie was a comptometer operator at Peech and Tozers steelworks before setting off for Hamilton, Ontario in Canada.

Kate has a son, Ralph, 65, who lives in Heeley, Sheffield."It doesn't feel like my 90th birthday," she added. "We've been in touch for a long time. I've never heard of a friendship that's lasted as long. Some people don't even live that long, but we've managed to keep going.

Whammytastic!!

What a brave soul!! Kirsty Butterfield, Manager of the Rutland hotel took the plunge three times – all in aid of charity though of course!
Kirsty took part in the Triple whammy held at Magna Science Centre on Sunday 13th June in aid of the £1 million Cystic Fibrosis Appeal.

The event consisted of a 250ft Zip slide flying through the air at 25 miles per hour, an Abseil with a 150ft drop and finally a freefall jump into a Powerfan! The event was held in semi-darkness with music, dry ice and disco lighting!

Kirsty said “This was the scariest thing I have ever had to do! I had butterflies the night before thinking about it, but I knew all would be ok!” She continued “It was for our adopted charity Cystic Fibrosis which is a great cause, and one we are proud to support at the Rutland hotel”.

The money raised will help go towards building a 12 bed inpatient facility for Cystic Fibrosis sufferers at the city’s Northern General hospital.

Katey Dent Sales Manager commented “The Rutland has a long association with the medical sector and the hospitals in Sheffield, and we look forward to continue supporting such great causes into the future”.

Wedding belles were certainly in the air at the Rutland hotel for the Galaxy wedding of the year! The winners, the newly married couple Gemma and Richard Hurst, were short listed from hundreds of entrants at the Rutland hotels open event on May 9th. They had to be filmed in the ‘Love lounge’ giving reasons why they should win the wedding, and the listeners of the show voted for the best couple. On winning Gemma commented “Nothing like this ever happens to us, we are so happy!”.
Gemma and Richard then had only a week to finalise plans for the wedding. Gemma added “It’s been a whirlwind week; my feet haven’t touched the floor!”
The happy couple who live in Sheffield, won a full wedding package at the newly refurbished Rutland hotel, which included a scrumptious 4 course wedding breakfast, drinks package and evening BBQ. They also won the wedding dress, cake, rings and flowers – the full package!
Katey Dent Sales Manager at the hotel commented “The day was perfect, Gemma looked amazing in her Choola dress and the weather was just lovely. The hotel wedding function rooms have all been refurbished this year, and the room looked amazing where they had the wedding breakfast”.
The radio breakfast team attended the wedding at the hotel in 28th May, acting as master of ceremonies and joining the guests at the meal. A great day was had by all.

Calling all couples who are looking to get married but have just not got round to setting a date!!

Fancy something a little different, and not a ‘traditional’ affair? Fancy doing it in May – THIS YEAR?!

Then two top sister hotels in South Yorkshire are offering the chance not only to win an entire wedding, but also one which will be hosted by Galaxy Radio breakfast team Danny, Hirsty and Jo Jo!!

Sales Manager Katey Dent said “Following on from two previous radio wedding promotions, we were looking to try something different, and this is certainly it! All couples who are interested in the wedding have to do, it to come along to our wedding open days at both hotels on Sunday 9th May 11am to 4pm to register”.

Galaxy Radio will be setting up ‘Love lounges’ at both hotels, and the couples will be videoed explaining why they deserve to win the wedding! Radio listeners will then decide who wins!

All plans for the big day are still to be revealed, but there will be lots of twists and turns during the promotion.

Katey added “Weddings are a big part of our business plan at both hotels, and being independent, we have to think of quirky and interesting ways to raise the profile of our hotels. This promotion is going to be bigger and better than ever!”.

The open days are also a chance to view both hotels set up for a wedding, view the wedding menus, chat to our wedding coordinators and also have a glass of bubbly with us!
