Let us know you are interested in submitting your ideas as soon as possible by lodging an Expression of Interest; we’ll then keep you up to date with any further information.
Deadline for submitting the full bid will be Friday 2nd August 2024 at midday.
Whilst we are unable to offer tours at the moment, details about the space, including plans and photographs about the property, are provided in the ITT.
