Iconic Sheffield music venue The Leadmill launches Crowdfunder to secure a permanent new space

Let's bring The Leadmill back.

Clementine Hall - 25th February 2026

The Leadmill has launched a relocation Crowdfunder after leaving its original home.

You may remember last year the trials and tribulations The Leadmill endured to try stay on Eyre Street where it had been stood since 1980.

From absolutely legendary gigs to unforgettable moments, The Leadmill provided some of the best nights in Sheffield for over 45 years, before the team unfortunately had to vacate the premises.

There is now hope though, as The Leadmill has set up a Crowdfunder and is asking the people of Sheffield to help hit a £30,000 goal to relocate to a new premises.

You can donate as little or as much as you’re able to, and all donations will go towards securing a new venue, building infrastructure, ensuring full accessibility, and even preserving the legendary neon sign.

Posting to their social media, The Leadmill wrote: "Following the departure from our original home, we’re working towards securing a new permanent venue - a space where The Leadmill can continue to grow and bring people together.

"We’re still presenting live music, comedy, club nights, cinema and talks, in various other venues but what we’re wanting to build now is our long-term future. To help make that happen, we’ve launched a public crowdfunding campaign which you can access using the link in our bio.

"This isn’t about starting over from scratch. It’s about continuing something that matters to people. If The Leadmill has ever meant something to you, we’d love you to be part of what comes next.

"Whether you’re able to donate, share the campaign, or simply send support we really appreciate the help and will not forget it. With love always,
Team Leadmill ❤️"
