We are proud to have signed up to Safe Space High Peak- meaning we are a safe and welcoming space to all, including the trans+ community
Whaley Bridge Carnival
What a weekend! The village came alive for the Carnival, with bunting fluttering, shops and pubs all decked out, and one of the best parades we’ve seen in years. A special shout-out to the Red Barrows, who were downright hilarious and completely stole the show. A fly past from the RAF Chinook helicopter was a reminder of the near disaster we had back in 2019 but also a nod to our amazing community.

Coming Up…
Nothing to do with the Coworking space really, but as I am on the committee for the Whaley Bridge Annual Show, I thought I’d take the opportunity to remind everyone about this event on 6th September. There’s still time to grow some onions or to make something for the handicraft section. We have classes for flowers, fruit and veg and all manner of art, photography and handmade items. Programmes available in the shops from the end of July.
Pop In Soon!
Whether you need a dedicated space to work, wish to meet new people, or seek a change of environment, the Coworking Space is here for you. The kettle is on, the Wi-Fi is strong, and the atmosphere is conducive to productivity.
Happy July!
