Ponds Forge International Sports
Centre |
During the Championships, Sheffield will be
alive with exciting events so whether you’re
looking for something to entertain the whole
family, or to occupy your summer’s evening,
we’re sure you’ll have plenty to choose from.
The Championship venue, Ponds Forge
International Sports Centre, is right in the
heart of Sheffield City Centre so you’ll never
be far away from anywhere you want to get to!
All of the city centre facilities, including
award winning galleries, an interesting mix of
architecture and an eclectic mix of shops to
browse through are within walking distance.
Bars, restaurants and cafes in abundance are on
the doorstep of Ponds Forge so when it’s time to
take a break, you won’t have to go far.
Sheffield’s modern tram system, and acclaimed
public transport services, mean that you can get
out and about without the car. If you want to
visit industrial museums or partake of some
retail therapy at one of the largest shopping
malls in the country you’re only a few minutes
away by tram. If you want to take advantage of
Sheffield being the only City in England with a
National Park in it’s boundary, then a visit to
the Peak District by bus or train is a definite
must.
With daily and weekly travel tickets
available, we’re sure you’ll want to explore, so
