TRAVEL

By air:

Manchester airport is served by many domestic and international carriers and has a direct rail link to Sheffield both day and night with a journey time of 1hr 20mins.

If you are flying in to London (Heathrow or Gatwick) the journey time to Sheffield via London St Pancras is 3hrs 20 mins approx.

A smaller airport with fewer carriers is Doncaster Sheffield Airport, near Doncaster, 25 miles from Sheffield. You could take a taxi from the airport, or a train from Doncaster to Sheffield.

It may also be worth checking out Leeds/Bradford and East Midlands airports which are further away again but offer alternative journey options.

By train:
Sheffield station is situated just 6 minutes’ walk from the main conference venue on Charles Street and around 10 minutes from most city centre hotels. Sheffield is very well connected to all major cities in the UK – see the National Rail for timetable and fare info.

By car:
There ae no car parks at the conference venue but various parking options across the city. See Parking in the city for details.

Extending your trip?
If you plan to stay before or after the conference then Sheffield is the perfect jumping off point for the Peak District National Park and all that Yorkshire has to offer. A bit further North is the breathtaking Lake District.
