Gatecrasher One

Gatecrasher One was a multilevel dance venue with distinct areas including the Main Room, Electric Box, Lounge, and VIP Pod, each offering a different experience. The layout allowed different music styles and crowd types to coexist within the same building.

The building was originally built in 1910 as the Roper and Wreaks industrial works and was first converted into a nightclub in 1995. Gatecrasher took over the site in 1996 and established it as a major electronic music venue.

The venue maintained strict door policies and attracted loyal crowds who developed their own distinctive fashion sense connected to the club's identity. This devoted following left a lasting mark on the electronic music scene in the city.

The venue received several renovations including a major upgrade in 2003 that brought advanced lighting systems and improved sound equipment. Visitors should expect these technical improvements to shape the overall sound and visual experience during events.

A fire in June 2007 caused the building to partially collapse and led to its demolition. The site was later transformed into student housing in 2016, marking a dramatic shift in the location's purpose.
