About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
lifework communities is a farm-based co-working space in Winsley designed to bring work closer to home while keeping people connected to their local community. Set within a converted barn at Hartley Farm, it combines a calm countryside setting with a contemporary, design-led interior, local art and a yoga mezzanine. The atmosphere is relaxed yet purposeful, with spaces shaped around both focused work and natural conversation. Members and day visitors can choose from shared co-working areas, a central communal table, sofa seating, quiet nooks, call booths, dedicated desks and secure serviced offices. Meeting rooms support private conversations and collaboration, while superfast broadband, printing facilities, a well-equipped kitchen, complimentary refreshments and free parking help make the working day straightforward. The space is also dog-friendly. Alongside everyday workspace, lifework communities offers its mezzanine and wider venue for workshops, creative writing retreats, photography classes, business launches, networking events, yoga sessions, inspirational talks and team away days. Moveable furniture, presentation equipment, quiet areas, sofa spaces and kitchen facilities allow the venue to support both practical business gatherings and more creative community activities, with local food and catering available through Hartley Farm. The community welcomes freelancers, creatives, parents, small teams, growing businesses and professionals looking for a more connected alternative to long commutes or working alone at home. Monthly events and community days encourage people to meet, share knowledge and form useful local connections. As a certified B Corp, lifework communities also places a clear emphasis on sustainable working, local partnerships and a healthier balance between work, life and the environment.
