Chale Abbey Studios is located on the southern tip of the Isle of Wight and is one of the best-equipped recording spaces in the south of England. Nestled on the downs and only two minutes from the sea, this residential facility has already been involved with recording a number of projects including Michael Kiwanuka’s number one album "Love & Hate" and Bernhoft’s Grammy nominated album "Islander".
In the grounds of one of the oldest domestic buildings on the Island, the studio is set inside a large stone barn dating back to the 16th century. With acoustic design from White Mark Ltd, a purpose built, state of the art control room and smaller live room have been seamlessly integrated with the stunning live space.
