Sheffield is located in South Yorkshire at the very heart of the UK.
The city's central location also puts it at heart of the UK's major rail and road networks, meaning it's easy to get to and is around 1 hours’ drive from 3 international airports.
Manchester Airport is the closest, with the most worldwide connections (over 200 destinations flying into Manchester from over 70 airlines). It is the 3rd busiest airport in Britain and the Global Gateway to the North.
By rail, Sheffield is just 2 hours from London with direct links from London St Pancras International departing every 30 minutes, making connecting to Eurostar services simple. Always check fares on the East Midlands Railway website first but if cheaper tickets are not available, Marketing Sheffield offers fixed prices of £99 for standard off peak returns or £130 in first class. Tickets must be booked at least 7 days in advance. Click here for information and booking.
