About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
Kelsick Grammar is an Ambleside coworking and meeting hub in a beautifully restored historic building, created for freelancers, home workers, small and medium-sized enterprises and teams who need a reliable place to focus. The space combines practical modern facilities with the character of a former grammar school, while also serving as Impact International’s global headquarters. Members and day visitors can choose half-day and one-day passes or a dedicated desk. The hub provides guaranteed desk space, super-fast Wi-Fi, soundproof work pods, a fitted kitchen, common and breakout areas, and complimentary tea, coffee, cordial and biscuits. Games and smart TVs add a relaxed touch, while accessible parking and a discount at Force Café make the working day easier. Meeting rooms support interviews, workshops, leadership conversations and team gatherings. Rooms include laptop-connectable TVs, USB speakerphones, cameras, microphones and chargers, with catering and refreshments available. Loughrigg and Wansfell suit smaller meetings, while Snarky Moss End offers a larger boardroom-style setting. Kelsick Grammar also hosts assemblies and community events in its large assembly room, welcoming local speakers, musicians, poets and filmmakers. Environmental features include sheep-wool insulation, greywater flushing, solar panels and a sedum roof. Whether you need a focused desk for the day, a polished room for collaboration or a welcoming place to bring people together, the hub is designed to make work feel productive and connected.
