Commercial hire: get a quote

For anything run as a business or paid work: running your own classes or workshops, film, TV and photo shoots, productions and performances, castings, corporate events and training. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll send you a quote, with discounts for regular weekly hires and block bookings.

Hire slots are offered around our own timetable. If you’re running classes, we’d love them to add something new alongside ours rather than repeat what we already teach.

Wow! The space is amazing and so well priced. We were quoted £40 for an hour somewhere else nearby.
