Unsure of where to go? Check out the map at the front of the programme. If the location reads ‘The Edge’ in Ranmoor/ Endcliffe, ‘The Ridge’ in Ranmoor/Endcliffe or ‘The SU’ (Students’ Union), just meet outside the main entrance of that building. Goodwin Sports centre is located on Northumberland Road (on your way up to Crookes)
DAY TRIPS
For all of our day trips, the end time shown in the event information signifies the coach departure time not the time we are due to arrive back in Sheffield. Unless otherwise stated in the event description online the ticket price includes travel only, you will have free time in each destination. For all Give it a Go Day Trips, the pick up location is Glossop Road entrance to Bar One, however when you see the Residence Life icon next to a trip this means there is an additional pick up point of Oakholme Road. Please select pick up location at point of sale. PUBLIC TRANSPORT
