Witney is full of incredible creative people, but there’s no dedicated space for them to gather, create, and grow together.

Berry Creative Studio is here to change that.

We’re opening a creative studio in Witney designed for artists, musicians, freelancers, small businesses, and curious creatives who want somewhere welcoming to work, learn, and connect. It’s a practical, inspiring space where creativity feels accessible, not intimidating.

The Studio

Berry Creative Studio is a place to create without pressure and learn without gatekeeping.

It will be a flexible, lived in creative space where people can:

• Work independently or alongside others through co working and body doubling

• Take part in structured workshops that teach real industry skills

• Drop into unstructured creative sessions where you can experiment, make, or just be around other creatives

• Learn how creative industries actually work, from branding and marketing to freelancing, pricing, and promotion

• Meet like minded people, collaborate naturally, and feel part of a creative community

The studio is designed to be calm, friendly, and inclusive. You don’t need to be a professional or have everything figured out. You just need curiosity and a willingness to create.

What We’ll Run From the Studio

From day one, the studio will host:

• Creative workshops for all levels, covering design, content, music, art, and creative confidence

• Business and industry sessions that teach people how to market themselves sustainably, without jargon or overwhelm

• Co working sessions for freelancers and creatives who work better around others

• Open studio style sessions where people can work on their own projects in a supportive environment

• Informal talks and discussions about creative careers, freelancing, and working in the industry

Everything is designed to be practical, relaxed, and genuinely useful.

Accessibility and Opportunity

Berry Creative Studio is built on the idea that creativity should not be locked behind money, connections, or confidence.

We run a Berry Creative Scholarship alongside the studio, offering free or reduced rate branding and design support to young creatives and unfunded start ups. For every three full price clients we work with, one scholarship place is funded. This keeps the studio sustainable while making sure opportunities stay open to those who need them most.

Why This Matters

Creative people thrive when they feel supported, understood, and surrounded by others who get it.

The studio offers a social but productive alternative to working alone at home or relying on pub based spaces. It gives people a reason to leave the house, build confidence, share ideas, and feel part of something.

By supporting local creatives and businesses with real skills and visible work, the studio also strengthens the wider community and local economy.

How Support Helps

Donations and funding go directly towards:

• Fitting out the creative studio space

• Running accessible workshops and open sessions

• Supporting scholarships for young creatives and start ups

• Keeping the space welcoming, affordable, and community led

Every bit of support helps open the doors and keep the studio active, creative, and inclusive.

Together, we can build a studio where people feel inspired to create, confident to learn, and supported by a community that genuinely cares.

A place to make things, meet people, and grow creatively. Right here in Witney.
