Moving to Doncaster

Doncaster has always been a transport hub, right from the days of the horse-drawn coach and into the age of the railway. These days, expats moving to Doncaster may arrive at the local Robin Hood Airport, which serves the town and surrounding area. Once settled in, expatriates in Doncaster may begin exploring by visiting the Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery or Cusworth Hall, a Grade I listed country house. Moving to a new city can be challenging, so to make the most of new opportunities and to get to know new people, it’s a good idea to join InterNations and make connections with others in a similar position. Our Expat Magazine has lots of tips and information about expat life, while the forums and discussion groups are your opportunity to interact with other expats and ask them any questions you might have, for example, about life in Doncaster.
