About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
Street and a Half is a creative and social business workspace in St Helens, managed by Make on behalf of Kindred. The building supports creative practitioners, social enterprises, start-ups and other organisations seeking a base for their work, with a strong emphasis on collaboration and local community benefit. The space includes private offices and shops to rent, communal areas for hire, and a central entrance and hub intended to support an active, welcoming environment. Meeting, workshop and event uses are also part of the offer, making the venue suitable for organisations that need somewhere to work, gather, run activities or connect with others. Located opposite St Helens Central station and close to the town centre, Street and a Half is particularly convenient for residents, visitors and businesses travelling by public transport. The building runs along Haydock Street and Bickerstaffe Street and forms part of a wider social innovation cluster alongside organisations such as Platform Arts, BookStop and Café Laziz. The venue is aimed at people and organisations doing practical, creative or socially valuable work, from artists, designers and makers to active-travel, wellbeing, recycling, youth and community projects. It offers a distinctive setting for independent businesses and social traders who want to work alongside like-minded organisations and contribute to the life of St Helens town centre.
