About this space

The Flaxworks is our open foyer space, and it has a relaxed, informal feel. It’s a good fit for public events like discussion groups, networking meetups, small gigs, or exhibitions where you want people to move around and chat easily. A lot of people also use it for lunch or breakout sessions alongside a larger booking.

The name comes from a local project in the early 2000s that turned unused land into a space for growing and harvesting flax. We liked the idea of making something useful and community-focused out of what’s available — and that’s pretty much how this space is used today.
