About this space

An independent open-plan project gallery that operates as a flexible white-box space for exhibitions and live programming.

Design: The gallery presents a minimal white-box interior with high ceilings and pale timber flooring. The space contains regularly spaced slender columns and continuous linear ceiling lighting that give even, neutral illumination and clear sightlines.

Features: The venue includes a PA system and speaker setup and permits own music and a bring-your-own DJ arrangement. The space provides Wi‑Fi, abundant natural light and a clear open floor that functions as a dance area. The venue is wheelchair accessible and has accessible toilets plus a step‑free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Artists, promoters and community groups seeking a flexible, social space for combined exhibition, performance or informal standing receptions.

What sets it apart: On-site affordable artists' studios paired with an active programme of exhibitions, music and talks that directly inform the gallery's events.

What guests say: The venue supports diverse artists and programming, with a strong record of music nights alongside curated exhibitions. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the layout works well for both visual displays and live sets.

Private Party · 80 guests · March 2026

The team we're extremely helpful, both in the planning stages and on the night, everything ran extremely smoothly.

It would have been nice to have a license extension (beyond 11:00) but understood this wasn't possible due to local neighbours.

Live Music · 70 guests · April 2026

The team were so helpful and made the event run perfectly. I had lots of questions, all of which were answered and I felt supported the whole time.

Nothing - thanks again so much!

Very poor communication

We viewed Staffordshire St Gallery as a potential wedding venue and the space itself is nice, but the communication was consistently poor. We repeatedly had to chase for basic information, and after we asked a straightforward question about hire options/pricing we received no reply for weeks. Planning a wedding is time-sensitive and a venue’s responsiveness is part of the service. If communication is this unreliable at the enquiry stage, it does not inspire confidence for the actual event. Because of the lack of follow-up, we booked elsewhere. I would not recommend if you need clear, timely communication.

FAQ

Yes. The venue has 90 chairs, 10 trestle tables measuring 6 feet by 3 feet, and 10 round tables measuring 1 metre in diameter, all included in the price. A ceiling-mounted projector, microphones and a speaker system are also included.

The venue only has wired microphones. You could hire a radio microphone if required, from somewhere like this.

Yes, real candles are permitted, as long as you avoid having any hanging fabrics over them.

Yes, venue hire timings can be extended at a later date.

The main doors must remain closed while the DJ plays, so guests should use the other entrance during that time.
