Kate Fowler, Devon Manager at Eat Work Art, says: “We have revitalised this disused building into creative studios, offering a space where designers, artists, architects can all come together to innovate, collaborate and create.

“Sustainability is inherent in our regeneration work and we strive to enrich the communities we work in.

“Aiming to bring like-minded individuals together who champion innovation and collaboration, everyone is welcome, from individual start-up artisan traders to more established companies.

“Everything we do is centred around bringing people together to foster a community of great minds.”

Eat Work Art launched its first development in 2009 with the unforgettable Netil House in East London, a previously unloved Sixties’ building which has been transformed into a powerhouse of creativity, crowned with an iconic rooftop and memorable city skyline views.

A number of further projects followed at an old printworks in Hackney Downs, as well as Old Paradise Yard by the River Thames.

Alma Yard represents Eat Work Art’s first development outside London and reflects Plymouth’s growing arts and culture scene.

Matt Hubner, Senior Marketing and Communications Manager at Eat Work Art, says: “We believe that London no longer needs to be the epicentre of arts and culture in the UK.

“Although it’s been our home for Eat Work Art for the last 10 years, we now look to expand – and Plymouth is a place where we’ve seen a burgeoning arts and culture scene with so much diversity.

“Alma Yard was the perfect site for us because of the historical reference. A series of 18th and 19th century amazing buildings that have so much historical relevance within the region.

“It was the perfect place for us to come and build this thriving hub of creativity.”
