About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
Creative Coop Creative Spaces is a community-minded coworking studio in Colchester, set within The Minories, a former Tudor mansion in the city centre. The space combines a practical place to work with a welcoming creative community, making it well suited to freelancers and small teams looking for a shared base. Members can work across an office space, meeting room, relaxed working area and light, airy garden room with full-sized desks and ergonomic chairs. The mixed-use layout includes bustling open spaces, quieter corners and the option to work outdoors in the garden, giving you a choice of surroundings to suit the day. The practical offer includes high-speed Wi-Fi, priority access to meeting spaces for meetings with visitors, and a small kitchenette with tea, pod coffee and filtered water. The studio is close to shops, cafés and public transport links, while The Minories’ gallery and garden provide a distinctive cultural setting. The nearby Commons café adds another community-focused feature to the wider venue. What sets Creative Spaces apart is its emphasis on connection. The studio is run by Creative Coop, a worker-owned design and development studio, and members have access to an extended network alongside invitations to member events and informal socials, including breakfast clubs, team lunches and occasional after-work drinks. It offers a friendly fit for people who value collaboration, community and a sociable place to get things done.
