Digital Tourist: New work space for Liverpool's digital traveller

Does Brand new workspace for digital travellers to Liverpool

A local group have spotted a unique opportunity to suit freelancers from or visting Liverpool, they are going to offer cheap and easy access to space on a day by day basis. They are offering access to deskspace or a workspace, so you can sit working on your laptop or you could be soldering a circuitboard in a suit to suit both activities.

The new space at DOES will address the problem of poor Wifi connectivitity that is the accepted norm in city centre cafes - you can spend half your day fighting with the Wifi rather than preparing for a meeting . This new space sounds ideal as it can promise fast internet access and cheap daily rental rates (prices below).

The long aim of the space is to further grow and support the community of people interested and involved in technology that has been building over the past few years in Liverpool and the surrounding areas. We also aim to help small businesses and start-ups by creating a space within which they can work, network and build up a business.

The new office space in the Gostins Building, Hanover Street is in central Liverpool only 10 minutes walk from Lime Street Station and right next to the shopping experience that is Liverpool One.

"The facilities that we can offer in our space will grow as the community grows, and will be directed by the community, but from the beginning we will be offering three main services: co-working desks available on a monthly basis, access to a workshop and flexible hot desks. For our monthly desks we’ll be offering a desk plus drawers and should be offering some privacy by having the option of taking the desk in a smaller lockable office. In our workshop we will have work surfaces, electricity and internet. We’ll also have a variety of tools and equipment provided by us, the organisers, which will hopefully grow as more people join the community.
We’re also intending to allow community groups to use the workshop space for meetings. We’re still figuring out how that will work but if you need a space then get in touch and we’ll work things out, and we do aim to have free options available for that."

Here are the prices that they’re going to be charging:

Co-working desk: £150/month (includes full workshop access)
Workshop access: £30/month
Hot-desk: £8/day
Events space: ASK
