Discover our workspaces, gym, café, & events
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.

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.

There couldn’t have been a better morning for our Flowers & Birdsong Spring Walk with Steve Mynard on May day.
The two mile walk was taken at what Steve called “the speed of chat” — slowly and with great attention.
Here’s what we found: May blossom on the hawthorn, pathways of silverweed, red campion, bulbous buttercups, white dead nettle, cleavers, dog rose, ground ivy, and the most delicate holly blue butterflies. Honey bees working the horse chestnut candles. A walk full of bluebells — did you know the UK holds 40% of the world’s entire bluebell population?
One of the walk’s most striking moments was when we paused at Great Charfield manor where Wiltshire Wildlife Trust and National Trust have collaborated to widened the field margins and will open up hedgerow and more tree planting next year — the tree guards here are made from cornstarch and biodegrade within three years.
Steve handed us tools we’ll use forever: the Merlin app for birdsong ID, a loupe for peering into flowers, and a reminder that even a dead tree is still very much alive with purpose.
Thanks to everyone who joined us, and to Steve for sharing his world so generously.

February is almost over.
Spring is making ready to pounce.
Studio members are turning down radiators and throwing doors & windows open, and dog walks at lunchtime are promising to be less muddy.
Getting to the gym in your break time is definitely more appealing when you don’t need a coat to get there.
