Watch the video of Sheffield's legendary Republic nightclub that has gone viral on YouTube
and live on Freeview channel 276
The 3D animated video takes you on a virtual tour of the nightclub with an incredibly accurate structural representation of the layout of the building. This building was of course the home to the unforgettable Gatecrasher brand.

Eventually, the building became the permanent home for the Gatecrasher nights following it’s success.
Sadly, on June 18, 2007, the famous building caught fire and partially collapsed.
The once popular structure was then later demolished.
