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 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.

How it works

Three steps, no ceremony

01

Try it free

Book a two-hour taster session and work here for real before you commit to anything.

02

Pick your hours

40, 80 or unlimited. Most people guess low and upgrade - switching tiers takes an email.

03

Just turn up

Sit anywhere on the coworking floors. Early birds get the window seats.

In every price

No add-ons, no surprises

One number covers the lot. We don't meter the coffee or charge you for a printer code.

Workshop Card discounts

Business rates, utilities, cleaning and insurance are all in the price too. Meeting rooms are the only thing you pay for on top.

Not sure yet? Work here free for two hours.

A taster session: a desk, the WiFi, the coffee - and no pitch. See if the place fits how you work.

Questions

Asked all the time

What hours can I come in?

Workbench runs Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 7pm. If you need nights and weekends, a Workstation membership is 24/7.

Do unused hours roll over?

No - the tiers are sized so most people don't run out. If you keep hitting the ceiling, move up a tier.

Can I bring a guest?

Visitors are welcome for meetings - grab a meeting room credit. For a guest working all day, day passes are the honest answer.

Is there somewhere to take calls?

Yes - a quiet booth for calls and bookable meeting rooms, so the shared floor stays workable.

Can I just come and look round?

Please do - book a tour and pick a time that suits, or ring us on 07398 623450.
