Studio Hire

Looking for a large, creative open space to run your own workshops and events in the heart of the Dorset countryside? 

I would love to share the space with like-minded local businesses who need a place to grow! It’s just outside Wimborne (6 mins drive from town) in a redeveloped farm building. It is a stunning venue with lots of natural light. 

With enough space to seat at least 10 people plus a demo/teachers table you'll have ample space to run your workshop.

The studio is on the ground floor and enjoys lovely light with windows on each side plus its own entrance. The workshop space is unbranded so you can really make it feel like your own space.

You are welcome to share your event on our Events page and via our e-newsletter (over 13k subscribers) plus our social media/online calendar. We ask that you manage the bookings/payments.

Studio Features:

  • 2 large tables (2m x 96cm) - seats 4
  • 4 tables (1.1m x 68cm) - seats 4
  • 2 tables (1.8m x 80cm) - seats 4

Kitchenette area - kettle, microwave, fridge. Coffee cups, glasses, plates, bowls and knives & forks are available for use. The sink is located in the communal area.

There is free on-site parking and a clean bathroom (shared with other studios in the building.
