How should I choose the best workspace for my needs?

The open desk is the way to go if you’re looking for a flexible workspace in an open environment where you can socialize with other members. Or, choose a dedicated desk if you want a designated space that also allows you to keep in touch with the community. A private office works wonders if you or your team need a quiet, secluded space to conduct your work and interact with people in your organization. It’s important to understand the different types of coworking arrangements available to you, depending on the type of work that you do and its duration, and whether you’re a solo worker or part of a team.

Can I book a desk or an office by the hour at The Handbag Factory? How about for a day or a month?

At The Handbag Factory, those looking for a workspace for an entire day, Day Passs are available.

Can I access the space outside of regular office hours?

The Handbag Factory operates during regular business hours, which are listed above. For any requests or requirements outside of these hours, please contact the coworking operator directly.

Can I change my membership if my needs or the needs of my team change over time?

Absolutely. Flexibility is one of the best parts of coworking. Most coworking memberships are month-to-month, so you can quickly adjust your space preferences according to your unique requirements and the size of your team. Whether that means upgrading the space or downsizing it or even completely changing the type of coworking subscription that you use, you always have the option to adjust as you go. It may be possible to adjust your membership before current membership ends, but you will have to discuss and negotiate directly with The Handbag Factory, who is more than happy to help out.

Can I use all the listed amenities no matter which membership I use?

Whether you're a day pass holder or a monthly member, you can access most amenities. Meeting rooms do require prior scheduling, and private offices are reserved for those with subscriptions. However, the lounge, kitchen, and breakout spaces are open to all. Complimentary services are also available regardless of membership tier, while ancillary services can be purchased separately or negotiated with The Handbag Factory.

Used Gallery 2 at The Handbag Factory as part of a degree show held for graduating Photojournalism and Documentary Photography students from The University of Gloucestershire. The gallery and staff were fantastic from start to finish; issues were quickly solved and we were made to feel exceptionally welcome. The supermarket directly over the road was an added bonus to the fantastic spaces supplied by ASC, and the amazing technical support. Will definitely use again, and may well even use the space to exhibit my own work in future. Thank you.
