BOSSES of a popular West End studio warehouse are planning to expand their businesses to include outside events with new art and market spaces.

SWG3 wants to use their existing yard area, at Eastvale Place, as an event space on an occasional basis to complement the wide range of activities that already take place on the complex. 

Proposals also include external alterations to the existing building, car parking provision and extending the time limit for use of their yard for licensed events.

It is popular amongst gig lovers, clubbers, and experimental arts performers and also offers fashion shows, corporate lunches and studio space.
