Tank Studio, a long stripped back room with strip lighting
Basement

tank studio

A long, quiet basement studio. Up to 25 seated.

A long, quiet studio in the basement. Its stripped back aesthetic makes it a focused space for creative classes, rehearsals and community meetings.

The Tank Studio gets its name from the diesel tanks that once fuelled the hall’s generators. Delivery tankers backed into the building and filled the tanks through trapdoors in the floor.

Available by the hour, by the day, or as a regular weekly or term-time booking.
