How you can be part of The Leadmill's history that celebrates Arctic Monkeys, Def Leppard & more
The Leadmill, which was based on Eyre Street for over 40 years, played host to musical royalty from Sheffield and beyond during its heyday
Genuine sections of The Leadmill’s stage are being transformed into unique commemorative pieces celebrating some of the biggest names to have performed at the venue.
The Leadmill, which was based on Eyre Street, was the longest running live music venue and nightclub in Sheffield before its closure in 2025.
Based in a former flour mill, which was originally a Community Centre, it opened its doors for the first time in 1980 and quickly became one of the city’s most iconic places for live performances from both up and coming bands and established artists alike.
For more than four decades it hosted many great nights and moments which some would say are even etched into music folklore.
Now, those memories can live on in a new collection of authentic stage pieces, crafted with love and care by The Leadmill’s own staff - which are now on sale.
Each piece has been individually cut, finished and engraved in-house with the name of an iconic artist and the date they performed at The Leadmill, capturing a moment from its rich musical history.
The first collection celebrates performances from Arctic Monkeys, Richard Hawley, Def Leppard, Wolf Alice, Courteeners and The Reytons, alongside a special Arctic Monkeys line-up piece marking their unforgettable Leadmill show with Reverend & The Makers,Milburn and The Harrisons.
Every stage piece comes directly from the stage used at The Leadmill until June 2025 and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity verifying it was crafted from The Leadmill’s stage.
Each piece is individually numbered, ensuring every one is unique.
A spokesperson for The Leadmill said: “No two pieces are identical. Natural variations in size, colour and wear alongside every scratch and mark reflect the countless performances, artists and audiences that have shared this stage over the years, making each item a genuine piece of The Leadmill’s Story.
“Whether fans were there on the night, discovered their favourite band at The Leadmill, or simply want a meaningful piece of music history connected to an artist they love, the collection offers the chance to take home a tangible reminder of the venue’s legacy.”
Stage pieces will be available to pre-order from 10am, Friday 31st July 2026 from www.leadmill.co.uk/shop.
The stage pieces are available in a range of formats including:
