Watershed's £6M Harbourside Deal
April 11, 2007 Posted by Pete Ferne in : Bristol, Community Media, Regeneration, Media , trackbackAccording to an article by Eugene Byrne in this week’s Venue (issue no. 761, 13-22 Apr 2007). The Watershed has signed a deal to take on the entire building (E and W sheds) which it occupies. The other tenants — Futurelab, UWE eMedia and four bars: The River, E Shed, Chicago Rock Cafe and Mackenzies — will simply have a new landlord.
The money Watershed will receive from rents will be ploughed back into the creative industry in the city, in part through a new Creative Industries Partnership
which will also include SWRDA — who have provided financial assistance to Watershed to support the move, Bristol City Council, the universities and local businesses.
I’ve been looking forward to this ever since I first heard the possibility floated. I think it will provide a tremendous boost to Bristol’s creative sector, and it’s fantastic to hear that it’s actually happening. Congratulations to Dick and the team.
