MAYKING Space

A rehearsal and development space for Bristol.

About the space

MAYKING space is a rehearsal and creation space dedicated to artists making and exploring live performance. We opened the space in autumn 2021 and it has fast become a lively and loved part of Bristol’s creative community. In here we welcome artists from near and far to play, make, dream and slow down.

The MAYKING space is an accessible resource for a city-wide community. A place for us to both support artists with whom we already have a creative relationship, and also to build new connections with those we don’t yet.

If you use the space, we’ll leave you to it, but will always be here to say hello and find out more about who you are and what you’re doing if you’d like that. 

Plans for the space and how we use it to create moments for gathering and exchange as well as residency are always growing. MAYKING space is for all of us and it will only work if you keep telling us what you want and need.  

Over to you
Team MAYK

“The experience was incredibly positive, and I found it to be a warm, friendly and helpful place in many ways. The relaxed setting, dedicated team and peaceful environment makes it an incredible place to take on something like research and development; giving time and ease to reflect on work and explore different directions. In my personal and professional life, I've been in a fair few residency situations, and I can firmly say MAYK are one of the most memorably kind I've engaged with - supportive of outcomes without placing certain expectations on creatives “

Pricing

Our pricing is for not-for-profit organisations. If you are a commercial company please get in touch to ask for our commercial prices, or choose the commercial pricing option when filling out our online booking form.

We do not provide an hourly rate.

You can book up to three days on the sliding scale day rate, after which we will automatically move you into a week rate.

You will be asked to choose a price when filling in your booking request form.

 

  • Standard Day Rate – £130 per day

    Reduced Day Rate – £45–£130 (sliding scale)

  • Standard Weekly Rate – £550 (5 days)

    Reduced Weekly Rate – £330 (5 days)

We offer standard and reduced rates on both our daily and weekly rates. We trust that you know where best to place yourself in our pricing range. If you're working on a project that has received funding or are in a position to pay the standard rate, we encourage you to do so as this means we are able to offer the reduced rate to people who are unfunded or cannot afford the higher rate.

If you are only booking for a day or two, and choosing the sliding day rate, again we trust you to know where best to place yourself. But, if you are unsure and need assistance let us know.

How to book

The space is available to book from 10am - 10pm, Mon - Sun. Please note, due to capacity, weekend bookings are less available and workshops & sharings are usually not possible.

The space is at St Anne’s House in Brislington, where our office is based also. Please find a map below. St Anne’s House is a new arts and community hub run by Bricks, and is home to artists, collectives, companies, charities, therapies, galleries & a gym. Their mission in fostering the building in East Bristol is to serve the local community by up-cycling the space into an accessible & welcoming environment for all - and we are very pleased to have made it our home.
