Withington Works - Your Local Co-Working Hub
A few small upgrades at Withington Works (WPHI)
We’ve made some subtle improvements to our co-working space at Withington Public Hall Institute.
Upstairs, we’ve increased capacity slightly to make things a bit more flexible on busier days. Downstairs, both rooms have had a furniture refresh - making them more comfortable for longer working sessions.
It’s all part of continuing to shape a workspace that feels easy and welcoming for our growing community of freelancers, remote workers and small teams.
As always, you’ll find reliable Wi-Fi, plenty of plug sockets, generous desk space and unlimited hot drinks - without the pressure of a café or the cost of a traditional office.
Check out our virtual tour of the space here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWBdfUIDA7O/
Half-day passes from £5, full days from £10.
