CO-WORKING SPACE AND EVENTS IN MARPLE
ABOUT OUR SPACE
Above our Marple shop we have a cosy, unique and inspirational space that’s available for use for a variety of commercial and community purposes. Frequent users of our space include:
Individuals that need a flexible office space
Small teams that want to hold a private meeting or conference call
Community groups who want to deliver hands-on workshops
Trainers and educators that need to connect with a group of people in an intimate setting.
Our flexible space can accommodate individuals or small teams of people up to around six people. We have one multi-functional room that is equipped with a boardroom style table and a screen that can be presented from. There is also a small kitchen with a fridge, microwave/oven and hob as well as a washroom. We even have a shower, so if anyone wanted to commute by bike they can freshen up before the start work (we can also store bikes securely!). Unrestricted parking is also available right at the back of the store. Hot and cold drinks are available from the shop and we are very fortunate to be surrounded by a number of quality cafes where where lunch can be purchased from - ask our team for recommendations.
CO-WORKING
Over the past few years, demand for co-working spaces has increased as many people have found themselves working from home on a regular or even permanent basis. Whilst working from your own home does have certain benefits, there are also a few major downsides, such as a reduction in human interaction, endless distractions, over-working and, ultimately, under-performing.
Lentils and Lather offers one of the best co-working spaces in the Marple area that’s available to use every day that the shop is open (see our hours of operation here).
Co-working is a relatively new concept that is rapidly growing in predominance in major city areas like London. It offers several benefits to users, which is why they’re becoming so popular as a modern way of working. So, what are some of the benefits of co-working spaces?
It’s commonly recognised that co-working spaces enable increased productivity compared to working from your own home. Our stylish space, which has loads of natural lighting mixed in with an abundance of plant life, will help you to focus on the task at hand.
Increased connection with other co-workers and reduced isolation. Whether it’s simple “coffee machine chat” or “after-work drinks”, our co-working space can facilitate the development of new relationships, which could lead to long-term friendships or business partnerships.
There are no hidden fees or contracts, which can help small businesses, sole traders or freelancers to keep on top of their outgoings and minimise costs.
We offer a simple individual day rate of just £15.00 (+VAT) per day that includes WiFi access.
PRIVATE MEETINGS AND EVENTS
Our space can be booked to be used privately. Sole occupancy is ideal for meetings, workshops, counseling sessions, demonstrations or talks. Our vibrant room is equipped with soft furnishings and a TV screen. We can set the space up with a boardroom style table and office chairs or the table can be removed to create a more open space. We also have a number of comfortable chairs that can be arranged in a way that suits your requirements. We can accommodate up to around 8 people.
To date, we’ve hosted crafting workshops, educational sessions for children and adults, team meetings and a first aid course.
Sole occupancy rates are £30 (+VAT) per day.
