Booking & prices
How do I book?
Book online on our booking page. Pick a room, date and time (minimum 2 hours), then add any extras you need. The calendar takes care of the rest.
How much does it cost?
| Room | 9am – 6pm | After 6pm |
|---|---|---|
| Front Room | £5/hr | £10/hr |
| Middle Room | £3.50/hr | £7/hr |
| Back Room | £4.50/hr | £9/hr |
The minimum booking is 2 hours. The 50% daytime discount is applied automatically at checkout. Compare the rooms.
Why can’t I make a booking?
Usually one of three reasons:
- The booking is shorter than the 2-hour minimum.
- The room is already booked at that time.
- There’s less than 12 hours’ notice. For example, at 1pm you can’t book online for 6pm the same day.
If the room is free and you need it today, get in touch and I’ll try to fit you in.
Do you offer discounts?
Every room is half price between 9am and 6pm. Discounts are also considered for long, regular bookings (2+ months). Get in touch to talk about it.
What if I need to cancel?
- Less than 24 hours’ notice: no refund.
- 24 to 48 hours’ notice: 50% refund.
- More than 48 hours’ notice: full refund.

At the studio
What are your opening hours?
9am to 10pm on weekdays and 9am to 11pm at weekends.
What equipment is in the rooms?
Every room has a PA with mics, a guitar amp, a bass amp and a drum kit with stands. Extra amps, mics and stands can be hired when you book. See what’s in each room.
Are cymbals included?
No. Drummers bring their own cymbals, hi-hat clutch, felts and sleeves. You can buy the mounting bits as extras when you book. Drummers’ guide.
What should I bring?
Check the guide for your instrument: drums, guitar, bass, vocals and PA.
Can I record my rehearsal?
Yes, in the Front Room. Audio only is £5, a livestream £10 and a video recording £20 per session, with drum mics or full multitrack as upgrades. Use the session builder to get your price and code, then add the code as an extra when you book.
What are the rules?
- Leave the room as you found it.
- Don’t take anything that doesn’t belong to you.
