Record Shops in South Yorkshire

South Yorkshire’s best record-hunting is concentrated in Sheffield, where you can hop between independents in a single afternoon before branching out to Doncaster. Start in the city centre around Devonshire Street and The Moor: Bear Tree Records sits in The Forum with new releases, a dedicated used section and regular event listings, while Record Store Sheffield majors on jazz, funk and indie. Head west to Fulwood Road in Broomhill for Record Collector, a long-running shop (trading since the late 1970s) built around buy/sell/part exchange and serious browsing across rock, soul, jazz, reggae and soundtracks. For something more neighbourhood-led, Hub on Sharrow Vale Road keeps things curated, and Spinning Discs Sheffield in Meersbrook is designed as a relaxed community stop for new, reissue and select second-hand vinyl. Most of these spots are easy to stitch together on foot or by a short hop on public transport, so it’s simple to turn a Sheffield mooch into a proper circuit. Browse the South Yorkshire listings, pick your patches, and make a day of it.

Our directory currently lists 16 record shops across South Yorkshire, spanning long-established institutions and newer independent arrivals, with shops in Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham. Between them you will find new and second-hand vinyl across every genre, from rare original pressings and audiophile reissues to the latest releases, plus turntables, accessories and knowledgeable staff happy to point you towards your next find.

Many independents here join in with Record Store Day every April, when limited releases and queues outside the shutters are all part of the fun, and several host in-store performances and special events through the year. Because opening times differ from shop to shop, check the individual listings below before setting out so you can plan your visit around the ones you most want to see.
