The Shed Creative Studios

The Innovative Starter For Ten scheme, developed by Gateshead Council and design guru Wayne Hemingway MBE, was set up to address a demand for creative workspace in Gateshead and to revitalise the High Street. It's seen the transformation of The Bed Shed, a redundant furniture store on Gateshead's High Street, into a thriving creative cluster for small businesses called 'The Shed'.

The Shed houses creative businesses. Phase 2 of The Starter for Ten Scheme has now closed. We will update with details of the new businesses that will be taking up residency on the second floor of The Shed as soon as it's available. Watch this space!
