We are a stimulating space for creatively minded company events, conferences, networking events, presentations, talks, book & product launches, fairs, markets, workshops, team building, filming, rehearsals and more.

We have 2 rooms available for hire independently or at the same time.

- Stimulating decor
- Customisable lighting

Our back room is a smaller, more ‘black box’ space with lower ceilings & no windows, perfect as a separate space for workshops, filming and rehearsals, exhibiting art & installations, hosting market stalls and serving food whilst the front room is used as a bigger event space. Features include:

- Clear walls to project onto & hang works
- Staging

It also makes a great chillout, break-out or secondary artist dressing space when events are held in the front room.

    Had such a great evening here. Went to see Daisey Moon and Roza Terenzi. Great sound. Intimate venue. Great bar staff. Roughly half venue given over to chill out and chat, with a rave cave to the rear. Will keep an eye out for other stuff going on here as I liked the venue so much.

    It’s truly disheartening to see a place that once held so much promise for nurturing new talent fall into such a disappointing state. What should be a vibrant platform for creativity and growth has instead become a shadow of its potential. Watching this decline is not just sad—it’s a loss for the entire community it was meant to support.
