HOW TO GET THERE:
By Car:
A map of the surrounding Sheffield area (Scale 1:100,000) can be found
here.
A map of the immediate vicinity of the venue (Scale 1:10,000) can be found
here.
Free parking is in Wood Street (just below the venue) - access is via Ash Street (next right if you are going up the hill away from city centre)
and clockwise round the Ash Street/Lime Street/Wood Street loop). Best access from the north and northwest is via the A61 (Penistone Road) and turn
right at junction after Hillfoot Bridge (where both Hillsborough Hotel and Langsett Road shops are signposted) - this avoids Hillsborough tram and
bus gates where restrictions are enforced with fines.

Square/Ponds Forge (next stop) for a Yellow route towards Middlewood. Alight at Langsett/Primrose View - venue is about 100m down the hill on the
corner of Langsett Road and Wood Street. Sheffield Plusbus tickets are valid on the tram.

Supertram Yellow or Purple route and change at Fitzalan Square/Ponds Forge for a Blue route towards Malin Bridge.
