The Park Hillsborough: Well-known Sheffield pub, popular with Owls fans, set to reopen, and what to expect

And bosses have explained the changes that customers will see when The Park, near Hillsborough, opens its doors again, with Sheffield legend John Burkhill, the ‘Man with the Pram’ who has raised £1 million for Macmillan Cancer Support, carrying out the opening on Saturday.

The venue, on Wadsley Lane, Wadsley Bridge, which is popular among Sheffield Wednesday supporters on matchdays, is letting customers back in on Saturday, after a three week refurbishment.

However, with The Owls due to play away at Queen’s Park Rangers this weekend, there will be no chance for matchday drinks before going to a game until the Owls’ home clash with Luton on Saturday, February 1.

Bosses at the Sizzling Pub Company say the pub has been completely transformed, and have described some of the changes which have been made to the venue since it was closed for the work to be carried out.

They said that the changes include a ‘refreshed’ bar, with a unique Sheffield themed tap room for adult guests and an enhanced dining area.

The venue’s general manager, Natalie Briggs, said: “We’re thrilled to reveal the Park’s new look to our guests.

“Whether you’re looking for a family meal out or somewhere to enjoy the sport with a pint, our pub is ready to welcome guests, both new and old, to enjoy our brand-new look — but with the same sizzle we have always had.”
