The Leadmill are hosting an exhibition looking back at their biggest events over the past 40 years.
The venue announced the opening of the exhibition on Instagram on Monday.
They captioned the post: “We’ll be opening our doors for a unique exhibition of collected memorabilia from over four decades of major Sheffield performances, lovingly curated as The Leadmill Archives.”
Its doors are open to fans who want to take a look at some of the most iconic performances it has hosted.
Inside includes collages of events over time through tickets, photos and posters. The events include performances from Sheffield’s own Arctic Monkeys, Pulp and Richard Hawley.
Notes from legends like Phil Collins, Ringo Starr and more are on show, expressing their love for the venue.
The exhibition has come at a time of uncertainty for the club, with reports of the eviction catching the eye of thousands last year.
Ethan Barnett, 21, enjoys the Sheffield nightlife and spoke about the nightclub: “Leadmill is home of indie music for Sheffield and it’s what got me into the whole genre of indie.
“They’ve had many artists and events happen there which fuelled my love for the music and place.
“My most favourite nights have been there and it makes it better they keep bringing new events with more artists to see live and it’s a very unique experience.”
The exhibition comes almost a year after it was announced The Leadmill was facing threat of closure by its landlords.
A campaign was launched last year with #WeCantLoseLeadmill trending across the UK.
The campaign’s petition gained almost 50,000 signatures, in the hope of keeping the venue alive.
Ethan, who lives in Handsworth, Sheffield, was passionate about the venue staying open: “I think if they did close, they would lose a major place in Sheffield’s nightlife as it’s a very unique place.”
Stars like Miles Kane, Eddie Izzard and Blossoms have also shown their support for the club to stay open. You can see the video which includes these and other stars sharing their views on screen at the exhibition.
The exhibition is closed today due to snow but the opening times for next week can be found on The Leadmill’s website.
