The nearest is just 0.32 kilometres away, meaning some guests can be inside the Arena in minutes rather than needing any transport at all.

When to book
With only 6 of the 18 listed hotels within walking distance of Sheffield Arena, the closest options for the 2 November 2026 Westlife show are limited.

Map: Sheffield Arena and the listed hotels
Getting to Sheffield Arena
The Arena has its own Supertram stop, Arena or Olympic Legacy Park, about a two minute walk away, with extra trams added after some events. The Yellow Route and Tram Train serve it roughly every ten minutes at peak times, and any tram between the city centre and Meadowhall Interchange stops here, usually in under fifteen minutes. On site parking covers around one thousand spaces across Car Parks A and B, plus Car Park C once those fill, with an overflow area for about two hundred cars and card-only payment. Park and Ride runs from Meadowhall Interchange and Nunnery Square, and First South Yorkshire buses link the city centre to stops near the venue. Heavy traffic is likely on event days given the Arena's capacity of over thirteen thousand five hundred.
Dedicated Arena tram stop
The venue has its own Supertram stop called Arena or Olympic Legacy Park, which is linked to the Arena by a dedicated footpath and is only around a two minute walk away. Extra trams are laid on after some events to help clear the crowd.
Tram lines serving the Arena
The Arena stop is served by the Yellow Route and the Tram Train service, both of which bypass road traffic to give a fast route to and from the venue. Trams run approximately every ten minutes at peak times and twenty minutes off peak.

Journey from city centre and Meadowhall

Journeys from the city centre or Meadowhall to the Arena typically take well under fifteen minutes.

The Arena has around one thousand on site parking spaces across Car Parks A and B, with Car Park A on Attercliffe Road recommended for traffic from the north and M1 Junction 34, and Car Park B on Broughton Lane recommended for traffic from the south and M1 Junction 33. Car Park C on Great Central Way is a one minute walk from the venue and only goes on sale once A and B have sold out.

Overflow parking and cashless payment
An overflow car park for around two hundred cars is available depending on weather conditions, and the Arena operates a cashless system so parking must be paid for by card either in advance or on arrival. Parking is not permitted at the venue on days when there is no event.

Bus access from the city centre
The Arena is also served by local bus routes, with First South Yorkshire services running from Sheffield city centre and Sheffield Interchange to stops near the venue on Attercliffe Common, roughly a short walk from the Arena. The venue notes it sits on several main bus routes in addition to the tram and Park and Ride options.

Heavy traffic expected on event days
Because the Arena is one of the country's largest indoor venues with a capacity of over thirteen thousand five hundred, heavy and slow moving traffic can be expected on all approach roads during a big event. Customers are advised to arrive early and to use public transport such as the tram where possible.
