New year, new me? At Network we are evolving into the new us and are excited to announce we're staying put and expanding! 🎉 We have operated as one of the city's independent music venues for over 3 years and for 2025 we have established our long term future in Sheffield by saving the Network building from potential redevelopment into flats. We hope to see more positive news from our peers in similar positions across the industry, in these well documented difficult times for grassroots and independent venues, and we really appreciate all the continued support from our community. During our time in this iconic building, we have provided a stage for everything from national touring acts to local emerging talent. Our unique and versatile venue offers 3 spacious rooms for live music, comedy, festivals, sports, raves and more. We are committed to supporting Sheffield's music community, and excited to offer more accessible spaces for all now that our future is secured! We’re looking forward to making continued investments in the space and continuing to serve as an inclusive and creative hub for everyone. We are committed to uplifting grassroots establishments and performers, and are excited to continue building our legacy. As part of our commitment to providing a top-tier experience for artists and audiences, we are excited to announce expansion plans. A beer garden with food venders is set to open soon, providing a welcoming outdoor space for all to enjoy. This will also include the further recruitment of staff to support the venue’s growth. We want our venue to serve as a cultural space where patrons from all walks of life can unite, share experiences, and celebrate the diversity of Sheffield's music scene together, and will continue working towards making positive contributions to our community. Lots of Love 🌟 - Team Network
