An Update on our Licensing Hearing The Sheffield Licensing Sub-Committee have today decided to grant our landlords their shadow licence. However the fight for the future of The Leadmill and its staff is far from over, and we will be considering our next steps over the next few days. All scheduled events will still go ahead as planned and we will continue to programme events further into the future while the legal process continues. We would like to take this moment to give a shout out to all of our incredible staff who have continued to put their heart and soul into their jobs despite having this hanging over them for the last 18 months. It is taking its toll and we are doing everything we can to help with the strain on their mental health. The Leadmill is made up of a passionate group of young event organisers who invariably read everything that is written whilst at work, so please consider the affect that your words may have on them when discussing the matter online. We remain defiant against a London landlord trying to get his hands on one of Sheffield’s cultural assets in such a cheap and underhand way.
