How To Get There:
Hillsborough is situated 3 miles north of the city centre, but visitors are advised to avoid this route and approach the ground from the north instead. Parking is possible in the area just north of Hillsborough.
By Car:
From The North/South/East:
Exit the M1 at junction 36 and follow the A61 towards Sheffield. Continue along the road for approximately 4 miles until the 2nd roundabout. Take the 3rd exit (Leppings Lane) - the ground is situated on the left-hand side.
From The South/East (non matchdays only) - Leave the M1 at junction 33 and turn left towards Sheffield City Centre on the "Sheffield Parkway" dual carriageway. Continue until the end of the Parkway, when you will come to Park Square roundabout. Turn right and continue to follow signs for the A61 towards Barnsley. Signs for Hillsborough are also prominent. The stadium is situated 3 miles from the city centre and is on your left-hand side after Hillsborough Park.
From the West:
Take the A57 for Sheffield. As you approach the city the road splits in two - take the left fork onto the Rivelin Valley Road (A6101). Continue for approximately 3.75 miles, turn left (onto one way system) and follow the road round to the right onto Holme Lane. This road then becomes Bradfield Road. At the junction with the A61 Penistone Road, turn left towards Barnsley. Hillsborough Stadium is on the left-hand side after Hillsborough Park.
By Train:
Sheffield Railway Station (Contact Midland Mainline on 0845 712 5678) is situated in the town centre, 3 miles from the ground.
By Supertram:
Take the South Yorkshire Supertram (signposted from the Railway Station) towards Middlewood Road (yellow route). Exit at the Leppings Lane stop, which is a short walk from the ground.
By Bus:
From the Railway Station, Flat Street Bus Terminus is a one-minute walk - cross over at the pedestrian crossing, and follow the signs. Bus numbers 53, 77 and 80 all run from Flat Street to Hillsborough.
From Angel Street, buses 74 and 74a run to Hillsborough.
From Snig Hill, buses 85 and 86 run to Leppings Lane.
From the Sheffield Transport Interchange, bus 57 runs past the ground towards Stocksbridge.
On matchdays, bus frequency should be roughly every 15 minutes.
Parking:
The best place to park is in the Owlerton greyhound stadium. This is about a ten minute walk to Hillsborough, but usually gets full quite early.
Some local schools often open for parking, such as the Chaucer School (located on the A61). There are side streets around Hillsborough but these tend to be full on matchdays.
Matchday opening times:
Sheffield Wednesday is pleased to announce that Hillsborough's North and South Stands will now be open from 12.30pm onwards on all home Saturday matchdays.
The club has introduced early opening to enable supporters to enjoy the matchday experience for longer, with numerous activities planned pre-match with refreshment kiosks and bars on the concourse being open from the time turnstiles are opened.
Supporters should note that the Kop turnstiles will be open from 1.30pm as usual.
Around The Ground:
Nearer to Hillsborough are pubs such as The Park and The Travellers which are no-go areas for away fans.
