The vision of Blick Shared Studios is to focus on the needs of creative industry businesses. We want to help the creative industries grow in Northern Ireland, to be eligible for taking workspace within Blick you need to be working within the creative industries. Falling within the UK’s definition of the creative industries – ‘those industries that are based on individual creativity, skill and talent with the potential to create wealth and jobs through developing intellectual property’ – includes thirteen sectors: advertising, architecture, the art and antiques market, crafts, design, designer fashion, film, interactive leisure software (ie. video games), music, the performing arts, publishing, software, and television and radio. You will be asked to complete a short application form to ensure your eligibility before taking a space at Blick.
Please get in touch or email christine@blickstudios.org if you’re interested.
We offer dedicated desks (just for use by you) within studios with limited residents (we have reduced capacity and rearranged our layout to ensure social distancing and minimise numbers) and private studio spaces of different sizes.
Our Malone studios, housed in a 3 storey period building in the leafy Queen’s Quarter features high ceilings, original period features and large bay windows that let in lots of natural light. In these studios we offer both private and shared workspaces.
Like all of our studios the space we offer is fully serviced, flexible, furnished and affordable. Our prices are all inclusive including rent, rates, utilities, Hi-Speed Fibre Broadband and free use of the private meeting space which includes access to a plasma screen. There is also a gorgeous glass roofed atrium which can be used for informal meetings with clients, as a breakout space for staff or just somewhere relaxing to get away from your desk and get creative!
Taking a space at Blick Studios is more than just a physical space it’s about meeting and working alongside like minded people, collaborating, learning and sharing experiences.
The studios are situated on the Malone Road in leafy South Belfast close to Queen’s University, Botanic Gardens and the Ulster Museum. It is a well-lit, safe and vibrant area close to the Lisburn Road, Botanic and Stranmillis which have lots of different coffee shops and food and drink offerings.
The studios are easily accessible by car, bus, bike & foot. You’ll find free on-street parking on all surrounding streets, on peak busy times it can be hard to find a space on adjacent streets, but you can nearly always get a space on Windsor Park which is only a few minutes walk up the road. It is also possible to park on the main Malone Road outside clearway times. Paid parking is available at the Wellington Park Hotel, a 1 min. walk from the studios. It is also conveniently close to local shops, restaurants, copy shops and Queen’s University.
Travel from your location to Belfast City Centre. If you are travelling by train, the optimal station for you to get off would be Great Victoria Street. From Belfast City Centre get a Metro bus number 8B or 8C at Donegall Square East. Buses run regularly and can also be boarded at bus stops heading out of the city on Bedford Street, Dublin Road, Bradbury Place, University Road, and the Malone Road. There is a bus stop directly across from Blick Shared Studios, if you are unsure of where to get off, ask the driver to alert you of the stop closest to Chlorine Gardens/Fisherwick Church. When you get off the bus, look directly across the road and you will see Blick’s big grey door. Please note that the 8A in either direction bypasses Blick and should be avoided.
Our buildings are fully serviced and furnished, and our prices are inclusive of rent, rates, utilities, broadband and use of communal meeting spaces, making renting an office simple.
Prices for our Malone Road Studios start from £325 for a small office for up to 2 people. Email info@blickstudios.org for costs of specific office spaces.
