Banks Mill Studios is a creative business incubation centre run by the University of Derby and offers space and support to early stage designers, artists and makers. We specialise in offering support and space specifically to creative industry businesses. We also offer an affiliate membership scheme for creatives who would like to be part of the Banks Mill community, but who do not need business s
upport or studio space. Banks Mill is an old Victorian rope factory which was converted into studios by the University of Derby in 1999. There is no lift at the milll so ramp access is limited to the ground floor only and there is metered street parking in the surrounding area. The building is open to our tenants above the normal office hours throughout the week and weekend.
