1. Gather Round, Trinity Church
Let’s start with the one that used to be a church. Trinity is a Victorian Gothic building with stained-glass windows, Gothic arches and an original timber ceiling that makes people tilt their heads back and say “wow” on the way in. It’s a restored landmark with a proper history, including a long spell at the heart of Bath’s Afro-Caribbean community, where the Rainbow Steel Band provided the soundtrack.
Now it’s a coworking space for creatives. Take a flexible desk, a fixed desk, or one of our glass-fronted private studios for small teams. Triple Co Roast Coffee is on tap, and there’s even space for your four-legged friends.
We’re a short walk from Bath Spa station and steps from Queen Square. Full-time Flexi & Resi members can also work from our two Bristol locations, Brunswick Square and Cigar Factory, for up to four days a month. Handy if your week takes you over the border.
Best for: creatives, freelancers, small teams, anyone who’d rather work somewhere with a story
