Location

Farmyard Studios is situated in the inspiring landscape of the Cotswold hills and is just a couple of miles from the picturesque villages of Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold. With views over the Windrush valley and a wonderful sheltered garden, this is an ideal environment to escape the distractions of everyday life and concentrate on producing a fantastic recording.

The Studio Itself

From the outside the studio building may look fairly conventional but this is misleading, as it is actually an Eco-building. This basically means that wherever possible it was constructed using environmentally friendly and sustainable materials. To give a few examples of this the studio is built on the site of some old farm buildings so the existing concrete foundations/footings were re-used. Most of the concrete blocks from these old buildings were also salvaged and re-used. The roof timbers are all untreated pine from a sustainable source and most of the doors and windows are either reclaimed or recycled. The studio is also very heavily insulated; this mainly consists of scoured sheep’s wool ( a waste product of the manufacturing industry ).

Disabled Access

The studio is just a few metres from the parking area and there are no steps or stairs to climb, this makes life easier for everyone, particularly those with disabilities.
