Large former retail unit, The Potteries, in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent

Located just outside the Stoke-on-Trent city centre, this substantial former Debenhams unit within The Potteries Centre offers a rare opportunity to occupy a large-scale retail space in a high-footfall shopping destination. 

The available unit extends to approximately 12,319.9 sq metres across multiple floors, providing significant scope for ambitious arts, cultural or community-led activity, including the possibility for studios, exhibitions and workshops.

Instead, we are inviting expressions of interest from arts organisations, collectives, and experienced practitioners with a track record of managing buildings for creative and cultural use. Applications are welcome from organisations interested in taking on the entire unit, as well as from those seeking to occupy part of the space as part of a wider shared model.
