Parking

There are currently no car parking facilities at the main Children’s Hospital site due to major hospital and car park construction work.

Car access is limited to drop off and pick up only.

Please note that The University of Sheffield are currently carrying out some significant remodelling work to roads near the hospital which may affect your journey. This interactive map shows dates and locations of planned disruption around the campus.

Emergency Department

There are a limited number of spaces on Western Bank for families attending the Emergency Department only. You must collect a permit from the Emergency Department reception to display in your car window while parked here.

Public transport

The hospital is well served by buses and close to the tram route. We encourage all parents and visitors to the hospital to use public transport.
