Olympic torch heads for Rotherham: route revealed

JUNE 26 will be Rotherham’s moment to shine—as the Olympic Torch travels through the borough during its ten-week national relay.

The flame will arrive at Magna at 8.50am and travel to the town centre, through Minster Gardens and All Saints’ Square.

It will head to Clifton Park and then on to Dalton and Thrybergh before leaving for Conisbrough at 9.50am.

Rotherham Borough Council leader Cllr Roger Stone said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for people across Rotherham to celebrate the arrival into the borough of the Olympic spirit which the torch symbolises.

“We are urging everyone to come along and see the torch. We’ve had so many people wanting to know where the torch is going it’s great now to be able to confirm the route.”

Torchbearers were successful through a public nomination process run by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games.
