Marchwell Studios offers a range of creative studio sizes and pricing options, from compact spaces for individual creative practice to larger studios for more substantial creative work. To make it easier to compare the available spaces, we have grouped the studios into four size and pricing bands. The right studio will depend on the nature of your work, the equipment and materials you use, and how you plan to use the space.
Small — up to 250 sq ft – £8 per sq ft per year – Compact studios suited to individual creative practice and smaller-scale work.
Medium — 251–399 sq ft – £13 per sq ft per year – Flexible studios offering additional space for creative practice, equipment and developing a small creative business.
Large — 400–649 sq ft – £16 per sq ft per year – Larger studios providing more room for space-intensive creative work, equipment, making or collaborative activity.
Extra Large — 650+ sq ft – £21 per sq ft per year – Our largest studios offer generous workspace for more substantial creative practices, specialist equipment, larger-scale making or collaborative activity.
The size bands are intended as a simple guide rather than a measure of suitability. The right studio will depend on the nature of your work, the equipment or materials you use and how you plan to use the space. There are opportunities to share spaces.
