Sensory Room - Introduction

• The Sensory Room is located in the John Street Family Stand, on level 2, next to the International Bar, and is accessible via the John Street Executive Entrance.
• The cost of the Sensory Room reflects that of the matchday ticket pricing in the John Street Family Stand.
• A complimentary personal assistant ticket will be provided based on eligibility criteria, of which information can be found by contacting our ticket office on 0114 253 7200 (option 1), or by contacting our Disability Liaison Officer, Jon Helliwell, at [email protected].
• In order to book a space in our Sensory Room, please contact our Fan Engagement Lead and Disability Liaison Officer, Jon Helliwell, at [email protected].
• Due to the nature of those with additional sensory needs, there is no set eligibility criteria for those wishing to attend the Sensory Room, and therefore the club ask for a family member or personal assistant to provide some brief information when contacting the club, regarding who they are wishing to bring to the Sensory Room, what their additional requirements may be and how the Sensory Room will help support their visit to Bramall Lane.
• Spaces will then be allocated on a first come first served basis. Supporters are eligible to use the Sensory Room more than once, dependent on availability.
• The Sensory Room is restricted to a maximum of 5 supporters and their personal assistants, in order to keep the room spacious, quieter and prevent it from being too busy and overwhelming for supporters.
