To keep costs low, and the studio and staff Covid Safe, we are now predominantly Self Service. If this is not suitable for you we offer Full Service for an extra $150 per day or evening session.
Surry Hills Studio: Our studio rooms are available for workshops 7 days a week from 7am til 10pm. The day session runs from 7am til 5pm and the evening session runs from 5.30pm til 10pm.
You are welcome to BYO drinks, food and equipment.
Catering. We recommend ordering via a local Surry Hills start-up ‘Caterfrom’ which supports our mates at small local cafes, but you are welcome to use your own caterer if you wish.
Things to note to ensure all our guests are comfortable:
Dog friendly so please ensure your guests know this as we have regular pets at the studio.
Access is via a staircase, we are on the first and second floor, so we may not be suitable for guests with physical disabilities/limitations.
If any of your guests experience hyperacusis (reduced tolerance to sound) please be aware we are in the middle of bustling Surry Hills and on the light rail track, so there can be some street noise. Ear buds/headphones are recommended for these guests, if working independently.

Sensory Sensitivities/Disabilities:
Bustle is a welcoming space for people with disabilities and their families. We’re providing kits, free of charge, which allow people with sensory sensitivities to participate in environments which may usually not be accessible. These kits help reduce barriers to access, providing a calming, quiet and safe environment so that everyone has a chance to get involved. Please let us know in advance if you would like us to provide any of these kits for your booking.
