The creative heart of Gather Round

Our co-working spaces are primed for creatives to come together and thrive. 

At our sites, advertisers brush shoulders with architects, filmmakers liaise with fashion professionals, and designers from various disciplines can spark big ideas. 

With two renowned spaces — Cigar Factory in Southville and Brunswick Square in St. Paul’s — many Bristol creatives are familiar with what our community offers. 

Now, as we dot the i’s and cross the t’s on the launch of our new space in Trinity Church, Bath, it’s high time we reflect on just what makes Gather Round so unique: the people.

A cross-section of our community

Our members span a real range of professions. We’ve got textile gurus, publishers, interior designers, and creative software specialists among the writers, photographers and marketers. Some line-up! 

So yeah…this lot call Gather Round their home away from home. 

Maybe not literally. But you get the gist. 

Let’s dive in.
