The Past:
Temple Works is the Grade 1 listed Victorian former flax mill that made history as “the largest room in the world”, with sheep grazing on a skylit roof in the heart of Leeds industrial revolution. The buildings façade is modelled on the Temple of Horus at Edfu in Egypt and it was built between 1836 and 1840. Its Victorian extravagance cannot be matched by any other building in Leeds. It has to be seen to be believed! The Present:
Temple.Works.Leeds has reopened as a cultural venue reminiscent of Berlin’s Tacheles art centre. While structural repairs are underway to the 2 acre main Space, the rest of the site’s labyrinth of rooms are under artist occupation. Venue and Studio Hire:
While not in direct programme use, many spaces at Temple Works are available for corporate hire, conferences, meetings and private parties. Sizes vary greatly, from the 1,600 sq ft Paintshop, to the double-height 1,500 sq ft Open Loading Bay, to the 2,900 sq ft Joiners Bar, the 5,000 sq ft Old Canteen and – soon – the double height 1,500 sq ft Boiler Room. We free parking on evenings and weekends; and while parts of the site do not yet have full power restored, Temple.Works.Leeds residents can be hired to carry out all technical needs on for each event including temporary power supply. Temple.Works.Leeds can run also run a bar, manage the door, offer full security and stewarding, and arrange catering (with either pre-qualified suppliers or a client’s own choice). A limited number of studio spaces are also still available for rental to compatible local artists, upon application. GET IN TOUCH or KEEP AN EYE ON THE PAGE
