hosting the event<\/p>\n<p>How do I get there?<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Hillsborough Park is three miles north west of the city centre, with festival-goers advised to use the city&#8217;s public transport and avoid arriving by car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">There are two gates to enter and exit: the Penistone Road entrance or the Middlewood Road entrance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">There is no on-site parking and no parking on surrounding residential roads but some parking options can be booked through the festival website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">People are advised to catch the yellow route tram service to the Hillsborough Park or Leppings Lane stops, or the blue route service to the Hillsborough stop, which is a five-minute walk to the park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Trams will run every six minutes from Sheffield city centre to Hillsborough Park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">For those travelling by bus, alight at the Hillsborough Park bus stop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Disruption is expected due to road closures after the event finishes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1752661270_973_grey-placeholder.png\" class=\"sc-d1200759-0 dkIvM
