Arts Lab

Suitable for pop up exhibitions and events, arts workshops, training sessions, indoor markets and community bookings.

Our Arts Lab is ideal for all nature of one-off, weekly, or semi-regular events and bookings. The room is bright, with large windows overlooking the River Medway and plenty of space.⁠

We welcome bookings from local communities and organisations. ⁠We know that starting something from nothing and running your own business is hard work. ⁠Whether it is a book club, an art workshop, a yoga class, a knit and natter, or something much bigger we want to help get it going and enable you to succeed. ⁠ Not only is the room a great facility for loads of community led ideas, but we are also backing it up with a ‘Pay What You Can’ scheme, offering a staggered payment scheme bespoke to each idea, with wrap around business advice to get you going.

Alongside offering a simple refreshment package, Sun Pier House has a wonderful onsite café serving a variety of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks. There is onsite pay ‘n’ display parking and Chatham train and bus station are within a 5 minute walk offering routes all over Medway and beyond.

By hiring this space, you will be supporting our not-for-profit organisation and our on-going work with the Medway community.

Unfortunately there is currently no disabled access to this room, we promise we are working on it!
