We saw the gap. The Midlands had no single venue where creators, brands, and agencies could walk in and make anything they imagined. So we built one.
Origin
For years, creators and brands in the Midlands have been making do. Shooting in spare rooms. Driving to London or Manchester for a decent studio. Compromising on what they create because the right space simply didn't exist nearby.
Story + Space exists to close that gap. Nine purpose-built studios under one roof, each designed for a specific type of content but flexible enough to make it your own.
From podcast rooms with soundproofing and multi-camera video, to a car studio with vehicle access, to kitchen sets for food brands, to a vintage boxing gym rebuilt from scratch. Every space is built to help you make something you're proud of.
Equipment, lighting, and technical support are included with every booking. You don't need to own a camera. You just need a story to tell.
Your environment shapes what you create. We design every studio to inspire, not just accommodate.
No hidden fees. No awkward email negotiations. Book online, see the price, and pay. Simple.
Professional cameras, lighting, and audio come with every booking. You can walk in with nothing but an idea.
The Midlands has world-class talent. It's about time it had world-class facilities to match.
Founded by
Christopher Bailey is a fitness photographer with 20 years behind the camera and work published in Muscle & Fitness magazine. He has photographed some of the biggest names in fitness and worked with brands including Gymshark, RDX Sports, and CNP Professional.
Every studio at Story + Space was designed from a photographer's perspective, because the person who designed them has shot in hundreds of studios and knows what works, what doesn't, and what creators actually need.
Story + Space is more than a studio complex. It's a creative hub where content creators, brands, and agencies come to make the work they've always imagined. We're building a place where the barrier between idea and execution disappears.
Bookings are open. Founding member pricing is still available for the first 50 members - leave your email for the details.
