Our Spaces

4 distinct rooms with Industrial backdrops from the Cotton industry, all giving unique industrial backdrops providing a canvas for your creativity.

The Green Room

Room with the original wooden floor throughout which is intersected by concrete and steel panels on the floor.

Large windows throughout the room allowing natural light to be plentiful. If the conditions allow it the evening light falls on the west facing windows and the setting sun cascades across the main room along its full length.

Colourful poles are positioned every 10 metres throughout the main room.

The Stone Room

Room with original slate flooring throughout the room and features from its time as a cotton mill.

Smaller rooms are located within this room, as is a metal staircase (which leads to nowhere!) which is very stable and safe to use.

The majority of windows (of which there are over 20, all approximately 3 m in height) have a frosted glass giving a very soft diffused light within the room.

The colours within the room are all muted greens, creams and greys, meaning any film or photographic work using bright colours will be visually stunning.

Our Studio room is a black studio.

We have 4 Bowens 500 pro lights which are included in the hire price along with the vinyl or paper backdrops.

A wide variety of diffuser heads

Our White room is a contrast to the rest of the studios. A clean Contemporary space which can be used as an R & R room, or it can be removed off all furniture and used as another shooting space.

The Green room is our talent dressing room. Warm and comfortable with plenty of hanging space for clothing requirements.

Our Prop room houses everything we have built over the ten years being open. From railway luggage and suitcases to early 9th century chairs. We have a vast array of props for your creative use, just drop us a message to see what we have for your shoot.

Myself and a team of wedding creatives held a shoot here at Atlas and we have nothing but praise for the staff and the venue.
The space was exactly what we were looking for with the industrial feel as we wanted to elevate the space to show the contrast.
All the staff couldn't of been more helpful on the lead up to the shoot and all the days we were there. What ever we needed, they had, or any help with anything, they were there to help.

The whole team came away saying how fantastic the place and staff had been.

We've used Atlas Studios on a number of occasions for many different kinds of shoots. Each time we visit we're impressed with the size and unique character of the space. It's incredibly versatile; there's nothing else quite like it, and couple that with Rob as a superb host, who's always on hand to help out, it's just an all round great experience.
