Steve and Gayle along with some friends have organised a trip to Sheffield. Here are the details if anyone would like to join them. The people who are planning to attend so far are: Steve, Gayle, Gary Leece, Pete Foster and 2 or 3 others from the Kings Arms, and possibly Steve Haycock. Some of us have already booked trains, with a couple from the Kings Arms planning on driving there and staying overnight in the Crow Inn.
Here are the details which have been arranged.
Meeting at Manchester Piccadilly train station.
Departing Manchester Piccadilly at 11:43 (East Midlands Railway), arriving in Sheffield at 12:34.
Return – Departing Sheffield at 20:11, arriving back at Manchester Piccadilly at 21:05 (TransPennine Express).
If anyone was planning on attending and getting the train from Bolton, an off peak return is £29.60, with a change at Manchester Victoria. This will be cheaper if you have the the train added to a bus pass.
Departing Bolton at 10:58, change at Manchester Oxford Road (24min wait), train from Oxford Road at 11:39, arriving in Sheffield at 12:34.
Return – Departing Sheffield at 20:11, change at Manchester Oxford Road (21min wait), train from Oxford Road at 21:30 arriving back in Bolton at 21:47.
Obviously earlier trains are available if you prefer.
The pubs to visit are mainly based in the Kelham Island area.
Starting at the Rutland Arms, which is a short walk from the train station.
Then either an 18 minute walk or taxi across to the Kelham Island area where we intend to visit the following pubs:
Crow Inn (has accommodation for anyone interesting in staying overnight, rooms starting from £50)
Shakespeare’s
Kelham Island Tavern
Either The Wellington or The Harlequin
Then back to the train station, again a choice of a 20 minute walk or by taxi, where we will hopefully have time to have a final drink in the Sheffield Tap.
Please contact Steve if you need more information. It looks like a great day out.
