One of Sheffield’s longest running nightclubs will be selling drinks for 50p as part of a special event to celebrate 25 years in its current home.
Corporation first opened on Bank Street in 1997 but moved to its current location on Milton Street four years later.
The rock venue has established Sheffield’s longest running and most recognisable weekly student events and has had huge rock acts perform over the years including Bring Me The Horizon and Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash.
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Corporation has announced a major throwback event with its flagship student night Monday Corp, rolling drink prices back to 2001 for one night only.
Corporation managing director David Savereux said: “Monday Corp has been a defining part of our venue’s history for 25 years.
“Rolling prices back to 2001 is both a thank you to the generations who’ve supported us and a celebration of the student culture that continues to shape Sheffield’s nightlife.”
Haley Madden, a regular Corp goer in her teen years, posted her memories on Facebook: “I used to love going there in my teen years, although that was 19 years ago… had many fun times in there but the mental staircase was lethal after too many!”
The 25th birthday event will feature drink prices at a cost of 50p which for students will make an affordable night out. With the rise of inflation, drink prices in Sheffield these days can range from £2.50-£6 on average in most venues.
When asked about the cost of drinks on student nights out in Sheffield, first year student Darragh Deazley, who is originally from Belfast, said: “The cost of drinks in Sheffield is much cheaper than home. Drinks do average about £4-£5 here which is good.
“If I was going out on a weekday and I heard 50p drinks I would very much be in Corp until 5am.”
Corporation is now one of the longest running clubs in Sheffield after popular venue Leadmill closed last year.
The 25th anniversary event is set to take place at Corporation, 2 Milton St, Sheffield S1 4JU on Monday the 9 March between 11pm-3am.
