The former Hartley Building on site is currently derelict and awaiting re-development subject to funding.  The building will include artist and makers’ studios, a rehearsal hall, and further business space. This affordable, flexible space will comprise:

• Purpose-built artist studios on the first floor
• Maker studios and workshops on the ground floor
• Individual and shared arts studios from 15 to 80 sq.m
• Dedicated rehearsal hall for theatre, music and dance
• Further creative industry business studios facing onto the courtyard
• 24/7 access

Sum Studios will become a hive of creative activity, a great place to welcome public and customers to, a site for workshops and exhibitions, and a thriving hub of activity – in short, an inspiring, functional home for makers and creators.
