Last updated 30th May 2023
Details of Sheffield Wednesday's Championship promotion parade have been confirmed, after their win against Barnsley in the League One play-off final.
The team's players and coaching staff will travel through the city on an open top bus on Wednesday 31st May.
The bus will leave Devonshire Green at 5.20pm and arrive at Sheffield Town Hall for around 6:15pm.
Council leaders have given permission for the bus to travel at "walking pace", so drivers are being warned to expect disruption.
Lord Mayor Colin Ross said: "Sheffield is the home of football and to see two victory parades in a month, with fans from both sides of the city coming together to celebrate their footballing heroes, is a real moment for the city.
"I’d like to remind fans to respect the city, each other and security staff if they’re coming into the city centre to watch the victory parade."
