Who rents out their darkroom?

I have, and am part of the Ilford Local Darkroom scheme.

Me too, and the only person who asked to use it was a young photography student from New Zealand, in Canada for a year out of Uni. An enjoyable experience for me and allowed him to develop the film from his 4x5.

Was wondering how common it was for people to make their darkrooms publicly available?

There are a couple near(ish) me, a few private and commercial. The prices can vary quite a lot, from as little as a couple of pounds an hour if you provide your own chemicals and paper, all the way to £100 a month for colour facilities including chemicals and paper.
The one i use is only £10 a year and includes chemicals, but it's a long drive limiting the time i can spend there. Plus it's VERY neglected and cant do colour.

This has lead me to slowly acquiring the kit i need to have my own darkroom, which so far includes a Jobo CP2 and Colour enlarger plus loads of other bits, and has cost me little more than pocket change.

I wouldn'want to use a community darkroom(need it closer) and would never lease mine out because, I don't want people to mess with my stuff. Build you own!
