Here's a first look inside Share Your Story, a new independent creative space dedicated to storytelling that is about to open in Altrincham town centre.
Transforming the former Hays Travel unit into a vibrant creative hub, Share Your Story brings a completely fresh concept to Altrincham's growing creative quarter.
Founder Simon Hepburn has designed the space with distinct zones for inspiration, equipment, training and retail - all centred around the art of storytelling.
"So many people buy cameras, microphones or notebooks but never fully use them because they don't know how," Hepburn told us earlier this year. "We're bridging that gap between owning creative tools and actually using them effectively."
The bright, modern space features comfortable seating areas for workshops, displays of carefully curated equipment, and inspiration walls showcasing local stories. The retail section offers books, albums and creative supplies that complement the storytelling theme.
The space aims to appeal to all ages, and Hepburn also hopes to partner with local schools.
Share Your Story officially opens on Monday - but we've had an exclusive look round today.
