Among the interesting spaces at Hoults Yard that we’re opening up for events, there’s the gallery.
We’re pondering calling it Think Tank – because we’ve had quite a few discussions about holding art exhibitions, lectures, screenings and live music events. It’s a space with a big volume, due to the 5m ceiling height. And, we’re very interested at the yard thinking about fusion.
It’s available for temporary hire – although there are a few restrictions, we’re open to proposals.
The space is set out as two interconnecting rooms with exposed brick walls, big windows and natural light aplenty. The south-side space has garage-style, double doors which will be useful for access. The north-side has fab 3m windows to let in natural light. The combined floor area of ThinkTank is 1600 sq ft, so we’d anticipate a capacity of up to 300 people.
Think Tank has rudamentary electrics (ie a few sockets), but no running water, no fixed lighting and no loos. There are loos in the adjacent block – or you can park a Portaloo outside.
But, as a result of the lack of facilities, you get this pure rectangular spaces.
We can offer our own stock of furniture, bar/fridges, space dividers and (see pics) festoon lighting rigs.
But, basically, it’s another blank canvas waiting for creative ideas.
Gallery - South Side - thru double doors
Gallery - north-side - huge east-facing windows
