Located in a converted chapel, we have a total of 31 studios ranging from 80 to 400 sq ft, designed to suit a wide range of visual art practices. The cost of our studios currently stands at £7.86 per square foot per annum*, which is reviewed on an annual basis. The studio rent also covers heating, lighting, electricity, maintenance, wi-fi connection, refuse collection and cleaning. There is 24-hour access to the studios, and all artists have access to a small-shared kitchen. Please note, only some of our studios have sinks, however, the building does have a communal wash-up area.
