Hospitality venues in South Yorkshire & North Derbyshire tell us the success of England's women in the Euros has given the sector a 'huge lift'.

Sarina Weigman's side are in the final of the competition tomorrow against Spain from 5pm.

Josh Green works at the Common Room in Sheffield - He's expecting another busy night on Sunday:

"It's always kind of been very limited with the people that come in for the group stages.

"However, we've had a full venue for all the knock-out fixtures, so Sunday is gearing up to be quite a thrilling evening.

"I think we've got 43 screens around the venue, so we can get around 250 people in the capacity.

"I just hope the Lionesses can get a win."

England are currently the holders of the competition - after they beat Germany in the final of the 2022 tournament.
