A creative retreat on an industrial estate in Holbeck.

Barkston House is a former office building located in the Holbeck area of Leeds. East Street Arts permanently occupies the building, offering the space as artists’ studios to a wide range of local artists. It’s home to a wonderful, vibrant and supportive community of artists creating a dynamic and thriving hub of creative activity. 

Studios at Barkston House are shared, semi-private workspaces within a communal studio environment, with each artist having a clearly defined area for focused practice. These spaces are best suited to artists looking for an affordable, flexible base and who are comfortable working alongside others. Current availability includes studios ranging from approximately 81.75 to 109.5 sq ft, with monthly costs between £110 to £150, depending on space used. They are ideal for visual artists and makers whose practice does not require full enclosure or heavy equipment.
