From the M18 (Sheffield / Leeds)

  • Take the M18 and exit at Junction 3.
  • At the roundabout, follow signs for White Rose Way/A6182 toward Doncaster city centre.
  • Continue straight through the next roundabouts toward Lakeside/Bawtry Road.
  • At the roundabout by Lakeside Village Outlet, bypass the shopping entrance and continue around the Lakeside development (lake on your left).
  • You’ll soon see The Dome on your right; turn right into the free Dome car park.

Tip: The Dome is only a few minutes’ drive from M18 Junction 3, making it easy to reach from both Leeds and Sheffield directions.
