About this location
Studio 21 offers two studios in Newcastle at the entry level of the city’s studio market. Studio 1 at £25/hr and 15-person capacity, and Studio 2 at £30/hr and 25-person capacity, give productions flexibility across crew sizes without significant cost difference. At these rates Studio 21 is accessible to student productions from Newcastle University and Northumbria University, indie content creators, and commercial productions watching costs. The two-studio format means adjacent rooms can support simultaneous shoots — useful for productions that need a main shooting space and a separate makeup/holding area.
The entry-level pricing makes Studio 21 the first call for Newcastle-based indie and student productions that need a dedicated studio environment without a commercial day-rate overhead. Newcastle’s established creative sector — the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art on the Gateshead bank, the Ouseburn Valley creative quarter, the Film and Media Studies output from Newcastle and Northumbria universities — generates consistent local demand for affordable studio access. NE1 postcode is well connected by Tyne and Wear Metro and walking distance from Newcastle Central station. On-street parking in the surrounding area. Booking via Tagvenue with separate listings for Studio 1 and Studio 2; both can potentially be hired simultaneously on request.
