Alma Yard is where artists, retailers and innovators are enriching Plymouth’s flourishing creative scene. A former rope factory during the area’s booming maritime era in the 1800s, the historic building has been considerately restored into a thriving workspace for creatives, compromising studios, coworking and flexible creative offices.

At the heart of Alma Yard is a public cobbled courtyard, which many of the studios surround. This bustling space features onsite café Heyl Bakery, shops and wellness facilities including reformer pilates and yoga, making it an ideal space for socialising and hosting events. Positioned in walking distance of the Barbican on a striking coastal rise, Alma Yard is the perfect environment to collaborate, innovate, and bring your ideas to life. Parking is conveniently located a 4 minute walk away.

Vision Factory

Vision Factory

"Vision Factory has stayed in Alma Yard as it’s a work place like no other in Plymouth. We wanted a studio space that not only reflects what we do as company within but also to be part of a great creative community."

"Alma Yard is a hidden gem and the architects have paid particular attention to the small details and managed to keep its character. There’s nothing like it anywhere else in Plymouth. It is an inspiring place to work in and an impressive place for clients to visit. There is a lovely balance between how original features have been kept and how modern materials have been introduced. The whole yard has a very high spec and the staff are refreshingly responsive and always friendly. Real people, relationships and working together in a physical space are an essential part of how we generate and develop our ideas. Having our own creative environment we all enjoy spending time in brings the best out of all of us."
