Tony Currie Stand

The Tony Currie Stand sits at Hillsborough, Sheffield United's home ground, and it's a proper piece of football history. Named after the club's greatest player, the stand is a straightforward modern structure that's nothing fancy to look at from the outside, but step inside and you're walking through decades of Sheffield United folklore.

For football fans - particularly those with a soft spot for the Blades - this is unmissable. You'll see where the action unfolds, get a sense of the stadium's atmosphere, and if you're lucky enough to catch a match day, you'll understand why this ground matters to the city. Non-matchdays you can sometimes wander the exterior and soak up the vibe, though full stadium tours vary by season and require advance booking.

Dronfield sits just a few miles south, making this an easy slot into a Peak District weekend. The nearby campsites - Fox Hagg Farm and Wyming Brook Farm are both solid choices - put you within striking distance of both Sheffield's attractions and the hills beyond. If you're bringing kids who tolerate football banter, they'll find the stadium interesting enough for an hour or so, but it's really for the enthusiasts.

Go on a non-match day if you want peace and quiet to appreciate the building itself. Match days are electric but rammed, and tickets sell fast. The stand itself is free to view from outside; proper access depends on tour availability.
