Always the same brilliant 'local club' atmosphere

    10 years ago, Twelfth Night was put together in, by, & for, the Northeast.

    Dancers soon came from clubs across the North. People now come from across

    the country, yet the event retains a big commitment to regional Salsa. We have

    3 excellent Yorkshire bands, & lots of Regional talent alongside special guests.

Why 'Twelfth Night'?

    12th Night is the pits! Still toxic from Christmas & New Year, & it's decorations

    down, & back to work & Winter! Let's party!!!

"If music be the food of love, play on"

11: Accommodation Options

 

Transport Issues

University accommodation, & nearest hotels, are just over walking distance from the venue.

A shuttle coach will operate at key times between university accommodation & ‘selected’ hotels.

The service will run every 15 minutes before the morning session; between afternoon & evening sessions; & after midnight. The Salsa York minibus will also be on standby for emergencies.

Public transport in Sheffield is excellent. Trams run between the city & venue, & No.60 bus runs between venue & university accommodation. Both are 2 stops away & run every 15 minutes.

Sheffield University

                                 venue                                                                                 accommodation
