About this space

Upstairs Co-Working & Meeting 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.

Co-working

Open Monday to Friday, 9am to 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. Drop in for the day or become a regular, either way you'll have a dedicated spot to get things done alongside a community of other local workers.

Meeting & venue hire

Outside co-working hours, and by arrangement during the day, the space is also available to hire for meetings, workshops, screenings, creative classes and small social gatherings. It comfortably suits small groups looking for something more characterful than a standard meeting room, with the same flexible seating, Wi-Fi and kitchenette access included.

A peaceful, community-rooted workspace with a bit of old Withington charm, whether you're here for a day of focused work or booking it for your next session.
