About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
The Old Post Office is a community coworking space and community organisation in Stirchley, Birmingham, offering a friendly alternative to working from home. The space is arranged for hot-desking and accommodates up to 12 people, creating a small-scale setting where freelancers, remote workers and independent professionals can work alongside others without the feel of a large corporate office. Flexibility is central to the offer, with individual coworking sessions, monthly memberships and an exclusive desk option for people who want a more regular base. The space is also available for venue hire outside coworking use, making it suitable for workshops, creative activities, community groups and other small gatherings. The working environment is practical and thoughtfully equipped. Custom-built tables give people room to spread out, while adjustable and non-swivel chairs, laptop stands to borrow, warm dimmable lighting and generally low noise help support focused work. Tea and coffee are included, and the small kitchen has a microwave, toaster, fridge, crockery and cutlery for anyone bringing lunch. Occasional video calls are accepted, with a separate nook near the kitchen for those who prefer a little distance from the main room. A warm, plant-filled atmosphere and a supportive local community give the space its character. Access information is clearly set out, with a long ramp available at the entrance, different seating options and an invitation to discuss individual requirements in advance. Service and therapy dogs are welcome, and local bus and rail connections plus indoor bike storage make it a practical choice for people travelling without a car. If you are looking for a calm, sociable place to get a few hours’ work done—or a more dependable base away from home—The Old Post Office offers a welcoming, down-to-earth option.
