Getting here...
The National Emergency Services Museum (NESM) is located in the Old Police/Fire Station, West Bar, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S3 8PT
​
Visitor notice:
If you’re visiting the museum, you’ll notice roadworks and many other changes happening around our historic building. This is due to a major regeneration project that will improve the area around the museum at West Bar, including improving access into the museum itself. This should not affect visitor access to the museum but may impact on parking around our site. Read more at https://www.visitnesm.org.uk/roadworks
​
If you are using a sat-nav or digital maps to get to us please be aware that the layouts of local city centres change frequently. The post code S3 8PT will bring you directly to the main road the museum is on.
​
Car Parking:
Unfortunately, due to the history and location of our building, we do not have our own car parking facilities. However, we are surrounded by multiple pay and display parking allowing you a great base to explore the museum and experience Sheffield. Please note the car park directly behind the museum (Lambert Street) is private with NO visitor / pay and display parking, please use other car parks.
