We opened on Tontine Street in 2013 and we’re still here: five floors, 22 private offices, 239 members and a slide between floors. Independent, and not a branch of anything.

Work somewhere worth turning up for
Why here

More than a room with WiFi

01

A real community

239 members who actually talk to each other - coffee mornings, pitch nights, and a Workshop Card of local discounts.

02

The Creative Quarter

Tontine Street's galleries, coffee and food on the doorstep, the harbour five minutes' walk, the sea at lunchtime.

03

One honest price

WiFi, meeting rooms, printing, tea and coffee - included. Monthly rolling terms, no joining fees, no surprises.

04

Room to grow

Start on a Workbench, take a Workstation, move the team into an office - without changing your address.

The little things

The stuff that makes it ours

Every workspace lists its meeting rooms. These are the bits members actually tell their friends about.

Weekly

Free fruit, every Monday

Crates of it in the kitchens to start the week. Gone by lunchtime, every single time.

Anytime

The drinks fridge

The Soda Fountain: a fridge packed with ice cold cans, and members vote on what goes in it.

Fridays

Free beer Friday

Pick up a voucher and the first drink's on the house at Rocksalt or The Pilot. A good way to see the week out.

Monthly

Coffee mornings

Coffee and pastries on us, and no agenda beyond turning up and talking to someone you haven't met yet.

All year

Ice cream, then hot chocolate

When the sun's out the freezer fills up. When it isn't, it's hot chocolate and biscuits instead.

Monthly

Evening events

A Thursday night each month: AI Builders Club, pitch nights over pizza and beers, and whatever the building dreams up next.

Member perk

The Workshop Card

Discounts at 18 independents around town: food, drink, fitness, gyms and hotels.

Regularly

Community events

Run with members and local businesses: workshops, clinics, talks and lunch and learns. Members teach, everyone learns something.

Every day

The sea at lunch

Sunny Sands is a ten-minute walk. Some meetings are better as beach walks.

Coming soon

Cake club

Every other month a local bakery brings in a spread, on us. Free cake for you, new fans for an independent.

Say hello

I'm Haydn, the manager

Book a tour, come in on a day pass, or send the form below and it's me you'll hear back from. I'll show you round, work out which desk actually suits how you work, and tell you honestly if we're not the right fit.

We've been on Tontine Street since 2013. My job is keeping it the kind of place people are glad to walk into on a Monday.

Open
8.30am to 7pm, Monday to Friday
