Arts & Music
Looking for a space that encourages fun, creativity and open collaboration? Somewhere to share your latest book in an intimate Q&A, or launch an album to the world? A total blank canvas, we’re your go-to gig venue for everything from poetry readings to art exhibitions to your nephew’s band’s debut (ask about our youth rates if he’s keen). We have staging, sound and seating so all you need is styling, food and the bar - or we can take care of those too!

Community
At the end of the day, we exist to serve our community, and the Shed is your space. If you need a venue big enough for a neighbourhood town-hall discussion or fundraiser, a couple of cosy couches to host your book club, a bar and dancefloor for a milestone birthday, or somewhere undercover for a market, we’d love to have you. Be sure to ask about our community group and social enterprise rates if that’s you!
