About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
The Bone Yard is a distinctive creative workspace community in Canton, Cardiff, founded in 2015 on a former industrial site. Its ten shipping-container studios provide a home for artists, makers and creators, giving the site an invitingly independent character. The wider studio model is built around comfortable, secure workspaces for small businesses and start-ups, with flexibility at its heart. Shared communal spaces and amenities help make the setting feel more like a supportive creative neighbourhood than a conventional office. Residents are hand-picked to encourage creative networking and collaboration, while flexible contracts and space rental opportunities make the studios suitable for people looking to establish or grow a small venture. It is a practical base for independent businesses that value community as much as workspace. The resident mix adds plenty of variety. The official listing highlights Thai and Mediterranean street food, yarn-art workshops, pottery painting, bespoke woodcraft, handmade jewellery, modern Arabic cuisine, vegan dog treats and a recording studio. These creative and independent offerings give visitors reasons to explore beyond the studios themselves, while showing the breadth of skills gathered on site. With a café and bar among its amenities, The Bone Yard also has a relaxed social side, making it a welcoming place to meet fellow business owners, discover local makers or spend time enjoying the creative atmosphere. Whether you are an artist, maker, creator or small business owner seeking an individual studio in Cardiff, it offers an unusual, community-minded alternative to standard workspace. The project has also attracted wider attention, with features on S4C Heno, ITV News and BBC The One Show.
