About this location

DARE Studios is a well-equipped production facility in Leeds with a specification list that covers most of what a commercial or drama production needs from a studio base. The 4,000-square-foot floor plan with drive-in access handles large props and set pieces. On-site set building removes the dependency on outside contractors for dressed-set shoots. Lighting and grip hire on-site reduces the logistics of arranging separate equipment deliveries. Three-phase electrical supply is the one that matters most for productions with substantial lighting rigs — standard single-phase limits many studio setups. The gated car park with HGV access keeps production vehicles secure and near-to-hand. At £780/day this is a premium-tier facility for Leeds but priced well below equivalent London studios.

The on-site set building capability is a significant differentiator: productions that need a dressed set built to brief can run design, build, and shoot from the same location without the transport risk of moving constructed pieces between a set-build workshop and a studio space. Leeds city location also gives the production access to the Holbeck creative cluster, the canal-side locations, and the city centre commercial streets as exterior shooting environments between studio sessions. Booking direct with DARE Studios; the Tagvenue listing is the discovery route but longer-term engagements and multi-day rates should be discussed directly with the studio management.
