Short Shops/Shows

The Waiting Room is home to two disused kiosks, formerly a newsagent and a left luggage centre serving the bus station.

As an extension of the highly successful Hidden Kiosk project run by The Creative Coop, we will be providing business incubation and product presentation spaces for local makers.

Kiosk 1 will be an Artists/Makers Shop providing a dedicated selling and presentation space for new and established Artists/Makers. It will be coordinated by Lucy Hook-Child, co-founder of former art market 'Weasel in a Tea Cup'.

Kiosk 2 will be available for one week to three month residencies to explore new ways of promoting and presnting skills, craft and making. This could be a short-term shop or show, a talk, film screening, artist residency, series of workshops, or other.

If you are a local artist or maker who has something to sell in Kiosk 1, or would like to run a Short Shop/Show in Kiosk 2, let us know by emailing us at [email protected] or visiting one of our many open events and speaking to us face-to-face.
