Booking
If you have a date or dates in mind, you can check the calendars for availability.
We will normally charge a 20% non-refundable deposit, but if the first day of your booking is within 6 weeks, you will be charged the full amount.
It's useful to read the facilities page before you make an enquiry... it's a long page, so keep scrolling!
Live/Work Studio
Renting the studio for a creative residency costs £900 per month, inclusive of heating, lighting, water, electricity, washing machine and wifi. Shorter bookings are priced at £300 a week.
Note that if you have hired the studio, other people may have hired the rest of the building separately.
Room(s) or entire building
For other parts of the building and other uses, you’ll need to use the Price Calculator (below right) to obtain a price.
If you choose not to hire the studio as part of your booking, it could be hired separately and the studio users will have access to the shared areas of the building.
90 people or more
We do not as a rule accept groups of more than 90 people, but all rules have exceptions. So do get in touch by email and let us know about your event, particularly if you live locally or if your event is connected with rural sustainability.
Dogs Policy
Please note that dogs, other than assistance dogs, are not permitted: the Big Shed is located on a shared track on a working farm with livestock, free-range poultry and several resident dogs & cats.
The price calculator below doesn’t cover every circumstance, so please do get in touch if you find it doesn't cover your needs or won’t give you a sensible price. We will try to be flexible.
Please note that a typical weekend hire - Friday afternoon to 5pm Sunday afternoon is counted as two days rather than three and the earliest arrival time on a Friday is 12.30pm unless agreed at the time of booking.
You must include group leaders, teachers and any other helpers in the Group Size
Pricing is inclusive of use of equipment, electricity, hot water & broadband
"Local" is defined as people living in the 3 Community Council Areas closest to the Big Shed: Killin & Ardeonaig, Kenmore & District Glenlyon & Loch Tay.
However, the Big Shed aims both to encourage local business and to provide opportunities from which local people can benefit, so if you want to run a workshop, retreat or similar at the Big Shed, local rates extend to Aberfeldy, Crianlarich and Lochearnhead
