Space at the Garden Shed
Following on from the hugely successful Starter For Ten scheme which has seen The Shed thrive over the past 18 months, we’re thrilled to announce the next phase for rent and rate free space for creative businesses within Gateshead.
The Shed is an innovative project set up by Gateshead Council to provide rent and rate free workspace to the creative sector. Currently, 39 creative businesses are resident in The Shed, occupying four open plan studio spaces - click here for info
The Garden Shed is an opportunity to grow your creativity in the grounds of one of Gateshead's stunning historic estates. We're offering rent and rates-free workspace in the grounds of Gibside Estate in west Gateshead for creative people to develop their practice or business.
Spaces range from restored historic stables to timber buildings and canvas structures. They all provide the chance to work alongside other creatives and interact with the 120,000 people who visit Gibside each year.
Site Visits:
There will be two open days for potential applicants to visit and view the facilities being offered. This will provide an opportunity to decide if the facilities are appropriate for your business.
These will be held on:
• Saturday 26 March 2011 at 2.00pm
• Monday 28 March 2011 at 2.00pm
Applicants should allow two hours for a short presentation from the Property Manager, Mick Wilkes, and a tour of the site.
