Welcome to The Barn Studio, a brand-new, privately owned recording space nestled in the scenic woodlands just south of Banstead, Surrey. Whether you’re after multi-track recording, dry hire, live sessions, video shoots, rehearsal space, renting the space to provide music tuition or workshops, or even podcasting facilities, we offer versatile options for both short and extended bookings.
Owned and run by musicians with over 25 years of international experience in jazz, experimental, folk, classical, pop, RnB, and session music, The Barn Studio has purpose-built wooden construction creating superb acoustics, making it the perfect space for small band recordings, especially in jazz and classical genres.
The studio features a control room, spacious live room, and is currently expanding with the addition of an isolation room. Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the studio offers a tranquil and inspiring setting, providing the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of London. During breaks, enjoy a picturesque walk through the ancient Surrey woodlands or unwind at a nearby 13th-century pub, where you can get local food and ales.
With ample parking on-site, and direct train access from Central London (just 50 minutes), plus easy access from nearby Sutton, Banstead, and Chipstead train stations, The Barn Studio is both secluded and conveniently connected. The M25 is only a 15-minute drive away, and there are several local hotels for those looking to stay overnight.

CONTROL ROOM
Completed in late 2024, the control room doubles as an isolation/green room. Photos showcasing the mixing desk and other amenities will be available soon.
LIVE ROOM
The live room spans 6.5m x 5.3m (around 35m² or 380 square feet) and boasts a stunning all-wood, arched Dutch-style barn interior. This versatile space is perfect for recording small groups, live sessions, and music videos. The wooden construction offers excellent acoustics, making it ideal for solo recordings, tracking, and capturing the rich tones of string sections or acoustic ensembles. Whether you’re recording live or need additional isolation, we can provide plenty of Gobo panels to help manage sound bleed. Please note: additional improvement works are being undertaken so these photos will be updated shortly.
