Getting Here by Car
From the M1, Junction 33, follow the Sheffield Parkway to Park
square roundabout (signed city centre). Follow signs for A61S
(Chesterfield/Inner Ring Road). Take the fourth exit (past Ponds
Forge sports centre and Bus Interchange on right). Continue past
the train station on your left and, to avoid a lengthy one way road
system, turn left onto Turner Street and park in the train station
multi storey car park. To get to the gallery come out of the car park
onto Turner Street. Cross Suffolk Road and Shoreham Street junction,
you will see Red Tape Studios and Forced Entertainment in
front of you. Then either go up the ramp/steps of narrow Grinders
Hill to the left or follow the road in the direction of the train station
around the Showroom cinema and onto Paternoster Row/ Brown
Street. Site Gallery is at the top of Grinders Hill on the left, next door
to the Workstation.
From the A57, carry straight on as Manchester Road becomes Whitham Road and Western Bank to a roundabout. Turn right (4th exit) onto the ring road (Hanover Way). Go straight on at the next roundabout, left at the second and right at the third onto Furnival Gate. Follow Furnival Gate as it bends to the left by the Rutland Arms pub and turns into Brown Street. There is limited meter parking on the street, otherwise there are pay and display car parks nearby. The nearest is the science park car park on Arundel Street ? for this turn left immediately before the Rutland Pub on the corner, which takes you onto Arundel Lane. There is also designated parking on Arundel Lance for orange badge holders (approx 100m from the gallery entrance).
