In the past five years, the world of work has changed – a lot.
Whether you’re a freelancer, remote worker, entrepreneur, or part of a growing team, more and more people are stepping away from traditional office setups and embracing the flexibility of coworking spaces. But what exactly is coworking, and why are people choosing it over working from home or leasing a private office?
At The Workplace, located in gorgeous Cheltenham, we offer new, flexible ways of working that are designed for everyone.
So, What Is Coworking?
Coworking simply means sharing a professional workspace with others, rather than working alone or committing to a long-term office lease. It’s about creating a productive, collaborative environment where you can get your best work done alongside like-minded professionals.
It’s not just about desks and Wi-Fi; it’s about community, flexibility, and working the way you want to.
Hot Desking vs Dedicated Desks: What’s the Difference?
We know everyone works a little differently, so we offer both hot desking and dedicated desks to suit your style.
Hot Desking
This is perfect for those who like flexibility. With a hot desk, you simply book your favourite desk in our shared spaces. It’s great for remote workers, freelancers, or anyone who doesn’t need the same desk every day. Bring your laptop, grab a coffee, and you’re good to go!
Dedicated Desks
Prefer a consistent setup? A dedicated desk gives you your own desk in our shared space, which is yours and yours alone, you even get a lockable pedestal to store your things. Leave your monitor, notebooks, plant, and lucky desk mascot—no need to pack up at the end of the day. Ideal for people who want a regular base without the hassle of a private office.
You can compare plans, pricing, and amenities with our handy table.
