Information

If you have any specific needs ahead of a show then please visit our Accessibility Page here.

The Leadmill is committed to promoting the equality of people with disabilities and will take the necessary commitments to meet as many access requirements as possible. We work closely with disability-led charity Attitude is Everything to ensure we are doing what we can and following their charter for best practise.

Doors for live events are generally at 7:30pm but please check the individual event, your ticket or booking confirmation for more details.  Live events typically end between 10:30pm and 11pm, but may on occasion end earlier or later.  If so, we will try to make this information available beforehand.

All of our shows are 14+ unless otherwise stated.  We do recommend that under 18 year olds are accompanied by an adult, but this is not a condition of entry.

We will always do our best to post stage times for our shows on our website, on our Facebook page and Twitter page but these are always subject to change.

Anyone caught using invalid ID, including ID belonging to someone else, will be refused entry and the ID will be confiscated and passed on to South Yorkshire Police Licencing Dept.  If you have had an ID confiscated please visit https://www.safeguardingsheffieldchildren.org/False-Id for further information.
