About
Derby Industrial Studio - DE22
This purpose built studio is a creative hire space set within the historic Darley Abbey Mills - one of the UK's most distinctive industrial heritage sites, just north of Derby city centre. The building itself does the heavy lifting: exposed brick walls, steel beams, and large windows flood the space with natural light, creating a backdrop with genuine depth and character.
The studio comes fully dressed and ready to shoot. Furniture and props are included as standard, alongside a curated selection of posters and wall art, and ambient lighting to help set the mood - meaning you can walk in and get straight to work without the faff of sourcing dressing from elsewhere.
The space has welcomed a wide range of productions since opening, and has become a go-to location for talking head pieces, interview shoots, and podcast recordings. The BBC have filmed here on multiple occasions, and the studio has hosted brand content, commercial campaigns, and documentary-style productions - a testament to how well the industrial aesthetic translates on camera across different formats and styles.
Whether you're a solo creator, an independent production company, or a broadcast team, this studio offers a genuinely characterful location that's practical, well-equipped, and ready to go.
