The nearest train station is Sheffield, about 3 miles from Kenwood Hall. From there, a taxi takes roughly 10 minutes and costs around £8 to £12. Most drivers know the venue well, so just mention Kenwood Hall and you'll be sorted. If you're flying in, Sheffield City Airport closed years ago, so Leeds Bradford is your best bet, around 40 miles away. Manchester Airport is a similar distance and often has better connections depending on where you're travelling from. There's a decent car park on site, free for guests, so driving is straightforward. Just allow extra time if you're coming via the M1, as it can get busy on weekends. For the evening, book your taxi home in advance. Local firms like Sheffield Taxis or City Cabs are reliable, but they get snapped up quickly on Saturdays. Your hotel can usually help arrange something if you're staying nearby.
