Photo Shoot · 8 guests
Great experience at Apiary Studios! We were made to feel extremely welcome, and were permitted to use multiple spaces and a variety of furniture and props. The staff were really friendly, helpful and accommodating and the space was perfect for our photoshoot needs. Highly recommend this venue!

Great space, relaxed to work in.
When it began to rain there was some noise from the drain pipes in Studio 2 that we had to work around - this would only be a problem if your filming sound on your shoot.

30th Birthday Party · 40 guests
The era of the ‘pop up party’ has begun! Thank you Apiary Studios for coming to my rescue when I was a week away from my 30th birthday with everything planned and a cancelled venue. Every single person we interacted with was super helpful and friendly, and completely made us feel like we were having a party at home. The space felt like ours the whole night and we didn’t feel restricted in any way. I honestly couldn’t recommend this for future parties!
A tiny niggle - we were promised there would be 3 tables from Apiary when we arrived but we had to wait till another photo shoot was finished before we could have it which meant that setting up for dinner took a bit longer so people were walking in while tables were being set up. But the lady at reception on the night was so polite and helpful when I asked about the table and made sure we got it as early as possible. So really not even a negative, thanks again guys!
