Approach Sheffield on the M1 and leave the motorway at Junction 33, following signs along the dual carriageway A630/A57/A61 Parkway.

After entering the 40mph zone, turn right onto the Ring Road at Junction 1 – Cutlers Gate. Continue along the Ring Road following signs for 'University of Sheffield', 'Barnsley A61' and later 'Glossop A57', through Junctions 10, 9, 8 and 7.

Take the third exit for Brook Hill/Western Bank and then turn left down Clarkson Street, where you’ll find a Sheffield Q- Park. Tip: If you use contactless payment, scan your card when entering the car park so you don’t have to queue for payment when you return to your car.

Parking

We recommend using the Q-Park on Durham Road (S10 2JA) just over the road from the Students’ Union.

Tip: If you use contactless payment, scan your card when entering the car park so you don’t have to queue for payment when you return to your car.

You can also pre-book your parking at the Q-Park Multi-storey.
