The Hive is designed to provide a productive and inspiring work environment, equipped with everything you need to succeed.
The Hive @ Valcato Studios began as the beating heart of Valcato Entertainment’s creative operations. For years, our studio has been a dynamic production hub where ideas turned into stories, and stories came to life through the magic of media. Rooted in creativity and innovation, The Hive was initially dedicated to producing in-house projects that captivated audiences and set a high bar for quality and imagination.
Today, The Hive is buzzing with a new mission: to open its doors and its resources to the thriving creative community in Stoke-on-Trent. Recognizing the wealth of talent and ambition in our local area, we’ve reimagined The Hive as a collaborative space where creators can flourish. Whether you’re a filmmaker, podcaster, musician, or visual artist, The Hive provides the tools, space, and inspiration to bring your vision to life.
We believe in the power of collaboration and the magic that happens when passionate people come together. At The Hive, you’ll find professional-grade facilities, a supportive environment, and a network of like-minded creatives ready to connect, share, and grow.
From its roots as a production powerhouse for Valcato Entertainment to its evolution as a community hub for creators, The Hive @ Valcato Studios remains committed to fostering innovation, celebrating artistry, and championing the creative spirit of Stoke-on-Trent.

We’re located in sunny Burslem, nestled inbetween Burslem Park and the Titanic Brewery
We operate 24/7! So even if you’re looking to rehearse out of hours in evenings or weekends, we’ve got a space for you.
Yes indeed – though booking a 3 hour slot will entitle you to a discount on our hourly booking fee, and booking a full day will save you even more!
We have several studios available, and whichever you book will be yours and yours alone for the duration of the booking. If you book a full day, you’ll typically be our only booking that day – so our team will be on-hand to help.
Yes of course! For example, if you’re a local photographer looking to base yourself at a studio without paying monthly rent, utilities and business rates, you can book studio time to work with clients or guests for one simple hourly fee.
If you have a more regular use for a studio space – for example if you’re a band that rehearse every week, or a music teacher that works with students at weekends, our monthly memberships offer a substantial discount on our usual hourly rate.
When you take out a membership, you’ll pay one simple monthly fee for a block of 10, 20 or 30 hours per month, which can be used at any time (subject to availability!)
If you have a monthly membership, we’ll introduce you to your own account manager who will book your hours in whenever you need them – just give them a call, text or WhatsApp anytime and they’ll handle everything for you!
Certainly! Get in touch anytime and we’ll be happy to organise a visit for you.
