Oakwell Stadium Hotels & Accommodation

Known as a fairly affordable city, Sheffield offers a full range of accommodation styles and prices from swanky central hotels to budget hostels.

📍 Where To Stay

Most of Sheffield’s accommodation is concentrated in the city centre itself, which is split into 11 quarters. The Heart of the City, St Georges Quarter, the Moor Quarter, and the Cathedral Quarter encompass the city’s commercial centre. These are the ideal locales for those who want to shop, dine, and drink with ease.

Immediately north of the commercial centre, Castlegate, West Bar Quarter, Riverside, and Kelham Island Quarter provide the perfect compromise between budget and location. While these trendy industrial quarters are just a few minutes’ from the commercial centre, they are much quieter and more relaxed.

Cool and trendy Broomhall is the go-to spot for students and young professionals thanks to its indie coffee shops and affordable bars and pubs.

The Sheaf Valley quarter is conveniently located between the city centre and Sheffield Station, providing transport links across the UK for those who want to explore easily.

Situated half way between Sheffield city centre and the Peak District, Fulwood is a quiet yet trendy area popular with families wanting the best of city and country life.

About Oakwell Stadium

The home of Barnsley FC, Oakwell Stadium – often simply referred to as Oakwell – is a football stadium located in Barnsley, England. The venue was notably the first English football stadium to offer a designated stand for disabled supporters.

📜 History

This historic stadium opened in 1888 and has been the home of the Tykes ever since. Many of the original seats can still be found on the upper tier of the West Stand.

Unlike many English football stadiums, the club's training facilities are located on the same site. As such, the name Oakwell often refers to the entire site rather than simply the stadium.

Oakwell has been used as for England international fixtures at a variety of age levels over the years, and it has also occasionally been used to host rugby matches by teams such as Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
