Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Sheffield
- Since the festival spreads across several venues in Sheffield and Rotherham, planning routes between locations in advance is worthwhile
- Public transport and train connections between Sheffield and Rotherham are usually the most practical way to move between venues in one evening
- Early October in northern England tends to bring cool and changeable weather, so warm layers are a good idea
- Accommodation in Sheffield should be booked early given limited city centre capacity
- As the festival is 18 plus, a valid photo ID should be carried at all times
