Sheffield Wednesday away guide

Upcoming home fixtures

Seasonal calendar

Hillsborough disaster anniversary — Mid-April sees memorial events in the city; some road and tram access near the ground may be affected.
Pennine winter weather — Sheffield's hilly terrain means snow and ice can disrupt tram services in January.

Supertram from the city centre — The most practical route — tram to Leppings Lane stop, right by the away end.
Sheffield station — A long walk, so the tram is strongly preferred by most visiting fans.
Driving — M1 J34, then follow the A6101; street parking near the ground is heavily restricted.

The Hillsborough Hotel — Historic pub with its own brewery, a short walk from the ground. Map
Sheffield city centre — A far bigger range of options if arriving early via the centre. Map
Hillsborough concourse — Solid matchday fare for a big traditional ground. Map

Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the Sheffield diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

The Leppings Lane end carries deep historical significance following the 1989 disaster; away fans should be respectful in and around the ground.

Ground note

Trams from the centre get extremely busy pre- and post-match; allow extra time and patience.
