Your Complete Guide to Hillsborough Stadium

Where to Park Near Hillsborough Stadium

Parking near Hillsborough Stadium is limited on match days, as nearby streets often switch to resident-only or event-day restrictions. Local car parks and unofficial parking spots can fill up quickly when fans arrive, so booking a JustPark space in advance is the easiest way to get you a reliable place to park. It saves time and avoids searching for a space around Middlewood Road and Penistone Road right before kick-off.

How to Get to Hillsborough Stadium: Driving and Public Transport

Traffic along Penistone Road and the approach routes from the A61 can build up ahead of matches, especially when fans arrive close to kick-off. Many supporters travel via Sheffield city centre and use tram links from Hillsborough and Leppings Lane stops to reach the stadium. Planning both your parking spot and route in advance makes arrival much smoother.

Best Places to Eat and Drink Near Hillsborough Stadium

Arriving early and parking up gives you time to stop at one of the pubs, takeaways or cafés around Middlewood Road and Hillsborough Corner. Match day food stalls also appear near the ground, giving fans a quick option before heading inside. Parking ahead of the crowds lets you enjoy the pre-match atmosphere rather than heading straight in.

Matchday Parking Tips for Hillsborough Stadium

Event-day restrictions are enforced around the stadium, and roads can become congested both before and after the match. Securing a parking space in advance ensures a smoother arrival and a faster exit once full-time comes. Knowing exactly where you’re heading means you can avoid traffic hotspots and leave the area more easily after the game.
