Sheffield is in the centre of Britain and is easily reached through Manchester International Airport. There are frequent trains from Manchester to Sheffield. The train from London takes about 2 and 1/2 hours. There are also airports at Leeds/Bradford, Midlands, Birmingham and Liverpool.
For anyone coming from EACL-95 (Dublin): there are flights from Dublin to Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, London and East Midlands on RyanAir, Aer Lingus and British Midlands.
Halifax Hall is one mile from Sheffield's city centre, and is easily
reached from Sheffield Station by bus or taxi, and from Manchester
International Airport and train to Sheffield. The # 50 bus from the
station will drop you off at the Botanical Gardens but we recommend
taking a taxi for around 3.50 pounds if you have heavy cases. Full
travel details will be sent on registration.
Single and double room accommodation has been reserved for conference
delegates in Halifax Hall. Delegates preferring to stay at a hotel
must book their own accommodation, though names of nearby hotels are
available on request: a list of some suitable hotels is also available.
Nearby facilities
Broomhill neighbourhood nearby contains banks, hairdressers,
bookshops, and the Botanical Gardens are a stone's throw away.
