Coworking in the heart of carlisle
Flexible Coworking Plans
We stand out from traditional offices because we have flexible memberships to match your flexible business needs, ranging from a place to work eight days a month to a dedicated desk or full office space that you can call your own. We also offer 24/7 access on our full time memberships, so if you get your best work done on weekends or work with overseas partners outside of traditional hours then you can do it here! Lastly and most importantly we will not tie you down to a long contract, we work on a monthly basis, all we ask for is a months notice if you want to leave.

But also the kettle's always on, there's always someone to have a giggle with, and some members like cake as much as me!"

“We love what we do, and we love running our courses at the Guild. It’s important to us that our students enjoy their courses as this supports their learning experience and encourages them to develop peer group support networks. We want them to interact with each other, have fun and learn at the same time and the Guild's relaxed and comfortable environment certainly helps us to achieve that."

"Great place for coworking in Cumbria. It takes remote working to the next level, surrounded by good people who range from big businesses to sole traders. If you run your own business or work remotely it's definitely worth checking out."

"The flexibility of working in the Guild is great, as I am out and about so much. However the thing I value the most is sharing work space with others, many of whom are in the same boat trying to run a small business. There is a great mix of people, with some lovely friendly characters in this co-working space which provides for a great feel and energy. I look forward to my days in the Guild!"
