In an old gun barrel factory in Sheffield’s industrial heartland, hundreds of people are raving under the fluorescent lights of Hope Works club for one of the last times before it closes. One young woman has dressed all in black to signify the loss of her “favourite place”.
“This is a landmark of Sheffield,” says one reveller. “It’s the reason a lot of people come to university here,” adds another.
Its owner Liam O’Shea believes that nightlife venues like this are “the vital underbelly of everything”.
“It’s where people find themselves,” he says. “It’s where people find their tribe.”
Mr O’Shea, who calls himself a child of the the “rave generation”, started Hope Works because he wanted to tap into that original spirit. Only now, Hope Works has gone. It closed its doors permanently in February after 13 years.
