Louise

Professional Irish Dancer

“The atmosphere is professional yet welcoming”

“I hired The Performance Studios in Lancaster to rehearse for an upcoming Irish Dance Show that I was going to tour with, and it was fantastic. The space is clean, spacious and beautifully maintained, with everything I needed for a focused and productive practice. I’m really pleased with the experience and would gladly book again.”

Guy

CEO of Lancashire Youth Challenge

“Clean, well-presented, and perfectly suited to our needs”

“We had a fantastic experience at The Performance Studios, Lancaster. The booking process was simple and straightforward, and we felt warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived. The space itself was ideal for our filming workshop. Having access to the in-house PA system and lighting frame was a huge bonus. Ciara, the owner, was incredibly accommodating; nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!”

Ginny

Portrait Photographer

“I love that the studios are in the city centre and by Dalton Square”

“I have hired the beautiful spaces at The Performance Studios on several occasions for photo shoots with my portrait clients. 

There are various options, each offering different ‘looks’ and backgrounds, making it ideal to create variety across my images. Booking is always such an easy process and Ciara has been on hand to help if we’ve needed anything. Lights are even provided if needed. The spaces are clean and bright, a perfect canvas. I would highly recommend this space for photographers.”
