The Studio Hartlepool

The venue hosts a wide range of gigs from indie, rock, blues, jazz, punk, metal, folk etc with a special emphasis given to local performers as well as offering a well equipped space for touring national or international bands.

Entrance to gigs is kept deliberately cheap to encourage people to support live music, with further concessions for unwaged people.

The building has been designed to offer maximum access including a backstage platform lift to the stage area for disabled performers.

The venue capacity is 200.

At the heart of The Studio´s activities lie two fully equipped acoustically designed, air-conditioned recording studios offering 24 and 32 track digital and analogue recording with hard disk capability.
