Discover our co-working network in the club room
Glove Factory Studios is a unique workspace environment in Holt, Wiltshire, just 9 miles from Bath. Surrounded by acres of rolling countryside, the studios are set in a lovingly restored old industrial tanning and glove-making factory.
Complete with Wild Herb at The Field Kitchen café and Glove Dippers cold-water swimming club, Glove Factory Studios is a place that welcomes contrast, where rural meets urban, work meets play and old meets new. A mini rural rebellion made up of individuals who take to the countryside; not to slow down or escape, but to spread out, breathe freely and make good things happen.
Co-working, dedicated desk, private studios & workspace for thinkers, creators & doers
Sensitively designed workspace, flooded with natural light and set in glorious rural landscape, with all the modern benefits of an urban experience. Superfast broadband, plenty of car parking and health and wellbeing benefits including on-site wild swimming lakes. Reimagining our green and pleasant land.

Bright, light & spacious

Leather factory
After years of planning and restoration consultation, we formed a partnership to bring the adjoining industrial heritage buildings into the Glove Factory Studios umbrella. We are carefully working our way to restoring the buildings to create a wider collection of studio workspaces with garden courtyards between the streetscapes that link the buildings. It is an exciting next chapter in our story.
