Spreading joy through creativity, care and connection.
MakeSpace is an open invitation. To pause. To play. To experiment. To have fun. To try something new. To learn. To rest. To choose YOU.
It represents a shift in how we navigate challenges, how we manage the stresses of every day life and how we choose to show up in the world. A return to simplicity, safety and joy through creativity, care and connection.
MakeSpace is for anyone looking for a lighter, more joyful way of being. Whether you’re looking for ideas and inspiration or interested in joining in-person, immersive experiences out of our creative studio & space in New Mills, you are welcome here!
Our creative studio and events space in New Mills is a flexible, multipurpose venue. It is the home of:
Day Breaks
Full-day, curated experience days that combine time in nature, gentle movement, creativity, rest and relaxation. The perfect intentional pause.
‘FUNk Up’ Workshops
Join us for fun, funky upcycling workshops where pre-loved items get a bright, shiny glam up. If you love colour and sparkle, this is for you!
Big Messy Art
Sometimes you just need to throw/pour/splatter some paint on a canvas and have a bit of fun. Big Messy Art is coming to MakeSpace in Summer 2026!
