There’s something that happens when you walk into a creative studio hire space that was built with real intention.
You feel it before you can name it – a kind of quiet permission. This is somewhere things can be made. Where ideas are welcome. Where your voice belongs.
That’s exactly what we had in mind when we created The Joinery, Settle Stories’ dedicated creative studio, available to hire for podcasting, video production, live streaming, and community events in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
What Is The Joinery Creative Studio?
The Joinery is our creative home: a professionally equipped, warmly human space designed for storytellers of every kind. We named it after the craft of joining separate pieces into something strong and beautiful. Because that’s what good storytelling does, too. It joins people, places, and moments into something that lasts.
Whether you’re a podcaster, filmmaker, educator, or community organiser, our creative studio hire offer gives you the tools, the space, and the atmosphere to make something genuinely worth making.
What’s Included in Our Creative Studio Hire
Podcast Studio Hire
Our acoustically designed podcast studio is intimate, professional, and ready to go. Clear sound, warm surroundings, and everything set up so you can focus entirely on the conversation. No awkward setup, no echoey corners – just you and a microphone that does your voice justice.
Ideal for: independent podcasters, oral historians, researchers, and educators recording audio content across the Yorkshire Dales and beyond.
Video Production Space
Good stories deserve to be seen as well as heard. Our video production space is set up for interviews, short films, educational content, and documentary work, with proper lighting, flexible backdrops, and the kind of quiet that lets creativity breathe.
Ideal for: filmmakers, content creators, community organisations, and brand storytelling projects looking for professional video production space in Yorkshire.
Live Streaming Studio
Your audience doesn’t have to be in the room. Our live streaming studio means your event, workshop, or panel conversation can reach people wherever they are, from Settle to Sydney. Story has never needed a postcode, and now your reach doesn’t either.
Ideal for: online workshops, hybrid events, community broadcasts, and organisational announcements.
Event Space Hire in Settle
This is where storytelling gets communal. Flexible and full of warmth, our event space hire in Settle holds workshops, screenings, talks, writing groups, and launches with genuine character. It carries the spirit of every story already told within these walls, and it’s ready for yours.
Ideal for: community gatherings, creative workshops, educational events, book launches, and panel discussions.
Why Creative Studio Hire Changes Everything
We could talk about square footage and technical specs. But honestly? That’s not the point.
The point is this: the spaces we create in shape what we create.
When you book creative studio hire that was designed with care, somewhere that quietly says your story matters, something shifts. You give yourself permission to make something real. We’ve seen it happen at The Joinery time and again. A first-time podcaster who came in nervous and left with the beginning of something extraordinary. A teacher who turned a community project into a film. An oral historian capturing voices that might otherwise have been lost.
The Joinery didn’t make those things happen. The people did. But the space held them while they did.
Who Is Our Creative Studio Hire For?
The Joinery is for anyone with a story to tell and a need for the right place to tell it – podcasters, filmmakers, educators, researchers, community groups, and creative organisations who want professional creative studio hire without losing that human touch.
If you’ve been putting a project off because you didn’t have the right space, this might be the nudge you needed.
