Corporation (nightclub)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Corporation is a nightclub in Sheffield, England. Originally based in the north of the city centre, near Castle Market, it moved to the former Unit nightclub in the Devonshire Quarter in the early 2000s and currently resides on Milton Street.

The club is known for playing a variety of rock music, although it also hosts nights such as 'skool disco' which is predominantly indie and 90's pop music. Live acts are viewed before the club nights begin which are housed in one of the two ground floor spaces. A further room exists upstairs which is only available during club nights, this room also has a balcony overlooking the rooms dance floor.

The club is one of the major rock clubs in England and rivals the multiplicity of Rock City (club) in Nottingham as both a rock club and live venue.

Unlike many venues Corporation also puts on an a preceding event to the club night called "K-Corp" for ages 14-17 years.

Corporation was also the scene of the infamous 'Drayton' fiasco where local celebrity Prince Naseem Hamed drank before being involved in a road traffic accident leading to his subsequent arrest and imprisonment.
