We currently have no Empty Shops but don’t worry, we are working on it. Please check back soon.
In the meantime our main room at HQ is now available to book as a usable workspace. It can be hired on a half day or full day basis and is suitable for a variety of uses.
Go to the ‘Workspace’ page under the ‘Empty Shop HQ’ tab for more details, or click here
If you are the owner of an unused building and would like to hear about the benefits of the Empty Shop Model contact thefolks@emptyshop.org
Previous Empty Shops
Unit 35b, The Gates Shopping Centre, Durham
The use of this space was very kindly donated by The Gates Shopping Centre and periodically used between June and September 2009.
94c Gilesgate, Durham
This is where it all started. We started work in the December and opened on January 30th to over 150 people, a really overwhelming response and an indication that people wanted this kind of thing. Over the next 5 months or so we ran through ?? exhibitions and events.
