Become a Local Host for Jacksons Lane Artists


Have you ever dreamed of being a theatrical boarding house?

Or a circus-sanctuary for brilliant humans who spend their days flying through the air, balancing on each other’s shoulders and making audiences gasp?

At Jacksons Lane, we’re welcoming more artists than ever into the building, from across the UK and around the world. And while we can offer space to rehearse, perform and connect, we’re always on the lookout for good places for them to land at the end of the day.

So… Highgate, Haringey and nearby lovely humans, might you have:

  • A spare room or two?
  • A self-contained flat or studio?
  • A short-term rental that’s occasionally available?

We want to build a small, friendly network of local accommodation for visiting artists and performers. Not faceless, not corporate, but warm, human and welcoming (and ideally with a functioning kettle).

Stays might be a night or two, or a week or more depending on rehearsals and performances.


What we’d love to know
  • How many people you can host
  • Whether the space is accessible for wheelchair users
  • The cost per night or week
  • What’s included (breakfast, kitchen access, towels, WiFi, strong tea, mild gossip…)
  • How far you are from Jacksons Lane / how easy the journey is
  • Anything else we should know about the space

And a little about you too, because this is about people as much as places.


Why it matters

Where artists stay shapes their whole experience; a warm welcome, a decent night’s sleep and a sense of being looked after goes a long way. And a good deal very much helps our tight artistic budgets!


Interested?

Please fill out the form and let’s see if we can make something simple, useful and quietly brilliant.
