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 ❤️"

One of Sheffield's most beloved boozers is about to get a facelift.
The Albion on London Road is about to reopen like you've never seen it before.
And it's all thanks to a budding new team consisting of Joe, the owner of Pints of Sheffield and Pinstock Fest, and David from Nivek Holdings who take care of a flurry of hospitality businesses across the city.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, the team said: "We’ve just bought a pub!
"As the new and proud owners of The Albion, we've got lots of plans to take London Rd's beloved boozer to the next level! We've got Charles from @barks.wine doing our wine list, Em from @emilycroft_design & @nodc.co.uk renovating our interior and a top secret surprise for our new summer cocktail menu.
"It's all happening down at The Albion and we can't wait to share what we've got in store… Follow @thealbion_sheffield for more exciting updates and follow along to watch all this come to life."
With such a great selection of local indies clubbing together to get involved, we just know that we're in for a right treat as the brand-new Albion starts to resurface.
And it seems like we're not the only ones to be excited about the new venture too, with Sheffield locals and hospitality owners commenting on the post to show their support.
Some claiming the sight has been 'gagging' for this for years and that it's good to see 'a new pub opening at a time when loads are closing'.
We couldn't have put it better ourselves to be honest.
We'll keep you updated with The Albion's reopening as and when we know.
