About this space

Tucked above the historic 1861 Public Hall, our newly renovated co-working space offers a calm, light-filled place to work in the heart of Withington. Originally part of the building’s old reading rooms, it’s now been restored as a relaxed, modern workspace while keeping hints of its Victorian character.

Open Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm, the room is set up for laptops, quiet focus and small collaborative sessions. There’s flexible seating, fast Wi-Fi, plenty of plug sockets and access to our kitchenette for brews and quick breaks.

Outside of co-working hours, this space is also available to hire for small workshops, screenings, meetings, creative classes and social gatherings.

A peaceful, community-rooted workspace with a bit of old Withington charm.
