We currently support the work of local makers & artists offering a 'pop-up' space for hire.

This is our workshop event area for in house classes and available to rent out to others for workshop events. Maximum numbers vary depending on activity so please contact us for a chat if you are interested in hiring the workshop area. Our space is light, warm in winter, cool in summer with high ceilings and wifi. Drinks point available; Unfortunately our loo is not disabled access - structurally impossible to make the necessary changes for this. Front entrance has very low step but reasonably wide. Please call to see how we can support access where needed - if we can do it we will.
