About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
The Blacksmiths is a small coworking workspace in Wirksworth, created within a sensitively renovated historic blacksmith’s shop. Arranged over two floors, it offers a calm, characterful setting with lime-washed walls, stone and tiled floors, generous glazed office areas and plenty of natural light. The workspace is centred on a limited number of dedicated desks, each with a large working surface, comfortable ergonomic seating, power and personal storage space. Members can retain the same desk for the duration of their rental, making the space particularly suitable for independent professionals, home-based workers and small businesses seeking a more productive alternative to working from home. Facilities include high-speed Wi-Fi with a backup connection, printing, scanning and copying, a quiet booth for private calls, a small lounge and an informal kitchen and bar area. Tea, coffee and biscuits are available, while the courtyard provides a pleasant place to pause or enjoy a quiet break. The building also includes a shower room and client-friendly areas for informal meetings. With its compact scale, generous desks and relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, The Blacksmiths is designed for people who value quiet concentration without being entirely isolated. Occasional evening functions and private events add a sociable dimension, while the thoughtful renovation and distinctive historic character give the workspace a warmer, more individual feel than a conventional serviced office.
