studio hire
Before hiring a studio, users must attend an induction session where you will be introduced to the health and safety requirements for each studio or workshop. During your induction session, you will be required to demonstrate your experience/competence with each piece of equipment. Individuals requiring more experience will be advised to first participate in one of our part-time courses or mini masterclass workshops to gain confidence and practical knowledge in specific areas. Once an induction has been completed, users can arrange to hire the studios for just £6 per hour during term time.
