TravelMaster is the Official Travel Partner for Sheffield Bricktropolis!

TravelMaster is delighted to announce that it is the official Travel Partner of Sheffield Bricktropolis.  Organised by Sheffield BID, Bricktropolis is returning to Sheffield for 2024 from Saturday 3 August to Sunday 18 August.  This year's trail is host to 17 amazing models around the city centre, featuring some stunning exhibits of safari animals, including some endangered species.

Built and presented by BRICKLIVE, Safari is a unique collection of brick models featuring a series of impressive animal sculptures. Each model is located at a different venue in the city centre, forming an interactive and fun trail made from more than half a million of the nation's favourite toy bricks.

Sheffield Bricktropolis is a wild adventure for the whole family.  Each model includes facts and stats for a little bit of education during the summer holiday and if you buy a trial map then you’ll have the opportunity to enter the prize draw to win a two-night stay in LEGOLAND® Windsor for a family of four (with hotel accommodation at the resort, first-class train travel and private transfers from London to Windsor included) or the alternative prize of a £1,000 Sheffield City Centre Gift Card.

For more information about the prize draw (which is optional), see terms and conditions on the Sheffield Bricktropolis website.

Trail maps are available for the small cost of £1 from "Brick Central" on Surrey Street (this is Sheffield BID's Unit 1, next to the Winter Garden). You can find Brick Central using Google Maps or by using what3words, we are ///stops.blues.zeal.   A free downable version of the trail map is also available for those not wishing to do the prize draw.  Check out the Sheffield Bricktropolis website for more information.

TravelMaster smartcard holders also are in with a chance of winning a £10 Sheffield Gift Card.  The first person to present their smartcard on one of three prize winning days and buy a trail map will win the gift card.  Keep an eye on the TravelMaster and Sheffield BID socials for when the prize-winning days are for your chance to win.

John Henshall, General Manager, said about supporting Sheffield Bricktropolis:

“Sheffield Bricktropolis is a great event for families or anyone just interested in the brick models.  Being the official travel partner for the event is great to help raise the profile of public transport in the city.  Most models are only a short walk from a bus stop so it is a great activity for our customers who are looking to make the most of their TravelMaster tickets from CityBus and CityWide to SYConnect SYConnect+.”

Richard Pilgrim, Project Manager at Sheffield BID said,

“We are delighted to welcome TravelMaster as our Official Travel Partner for Sheffield Bricktropolis 2024. This year’s Safari trail is a great way to get active and explore more of the city centre. Incorporating the bus, tram or train into your provides a reliable and stress-free way to get into the city centre for this year’s trail.”
