Introducing Acid Proof Studios – a new permanent community of artists’ workshops, studios and co-working spaces beside the canal in Bootle.

What’s this all about?

Acid Proof Studios is a new arts venue in Bootle. We want to provide local artists with a special place to work and play within a like minded community, so we are currently renovating an old industrial warehouse on the canal side to do just that. We are building a series of affordable, flexible, creative spaces for artists and makers.

Whether you are looking for a 24/7 workspace to call your own, a place to share with others or some space to work on an exciting short term project, we can offer flexibility to suit all requirements. If you want to be part of a vibrant co-working artists’ community we would love to hear from you!

We will be opening our doors to new tenants in 2024 and have big plans do do even more with the space over time, as you can see from the artist impressions on our website. For now, please explore the website to get a feel for what’s coming and contact us if you have any questions.
