The 1975 at FlyDSA Arena Sheffield | Wheelchair Access Review
As you will probably know by now, we love a good old road trip to see our favourite bands. Last month we headed down to Sheffield to see The 1975 at FlyDSA Arena Sheffield. This was our first trip to Sheffield and we had a great time. We stayed two nights at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Sheffield Park in a lovely king deluxe accessible room.

Last month we travelled down to Manchester to see Ray LaMontagne at O2 Apollo Manchester. We then had tickets to see him the following night at SEC Armadillo Glasgow.
