9 unusual Sheffield polling stations, including inside luxury hotel and Bramall Lane

Often it is schools, libraries, and community centres housing the awaited booths and ballot boxes - but some voters get luckier than others.

Polls are open at locations across the country today (July 4) until 10pm.

In Sheffield, this includes a few sporting venues, including one which has swapped its punching bags for polling booths.

11 of the quirkiest places in Sheffield where people are heading to the polls today are listed below.

You can also find our round-up of pubs doubling up as polling booths here.

Your polling card will tell you where you have to go if you are voting in person - unfortunately, not everyone can do it at a pub or luxury hotel.
