About this location

Studio128 sits in Leith, Edinburgh’s port district, which is within practical distance of the city centre and well-served by transport routes from the rest of the Lothians. The studio positions itself as one of the largest hire facilities in Edinburgh — the market is smaller than Glasgow or Manchester, so that claim carries weight. At 30-person capacity it is calibrated for working crews rather than large-scale productions, which is appropriate for Edinburgh’s indie and commercial sector. The Leith Shore proximity is relevant for productions that need a mix of studio interiors and exteriors on the same day. Day hire at £400 sits at the accessible end for a dedicated studio in a Scottish capital city.

Leith Shore itself — the canalside restaurants, the former bonded warehouses, the dockyard environment downstream toward Leith Docks — provides an immediately usable exterior set for productions that want Edinburgh without the castle-and-Royal-Mile tourist backdrop. On-site loading and parking make kit logistics straightforward, a significant practical advantage over Edinburgh city-centre alternatives. EH6 is served by frequent bus services from Princes Street. The day-rate structure suits productions that prefer fixed-cost clarity over per-hour billing that accumulates unpredictably. Booking via Tagvenue at the whole-studio rate.
