What to Know Before You Go
- 1Take the bus or the tram, not the car.
Bus 7, 8, or X1 stops at Neepsend Lane / Rutland Road, a 109 m / 2-minute walk to the door. Supertram Yellow Line to Infirmary Road is the rail fallback. Sheffield mainline rail is a separate onward hop from Burton Road.
- 2The Kelham-Neepsend parking scheme went live 11 November 2024.
On-street bays around Burton Road now require valid pay-and-display tickets or a resident / business permit, with a Penalty Charge Notice for non-compliance. Do not assume the side streets are free the way they used to be.
- 3Park at Copper Street Car Park if you must drive.
It is the nearest Sheffield City Council paid car park outside the new permit zone. Walk back into Neepsend via Burton Road.
- 4The pizza and the courtyard are part of the experience.
The on-site pizza place and the cobbled courtyard with covered seating are venue signatures. Plan to arrive earlier than door time so you can eat first and use the courtyard between sets.
