Spaces that support the work behind the work
Experiential teams and public sector facilitators do more than run workshops or deliver projects, they shape conversations, build engagement, and help communities and organisations move forward.
But behind every well-run session is a team that needs the right environment to ideate, prepare, collaborate, plan, test, build, and breathe.
Coworking hubs like DeskLodge Beacon Tower offer exactly that: vibrant, flexible spaces that help creative facilitators and public sector practitioners stay energised, connected, and inspired.
Whether you’re delivering community engagement projects, service design sprints, educational programmes, or immersive experiences, the right workspace can transform your team’s impact.
Why experiential & public sector teams thrive in coworking
Your work depends on creativity and clarity - but also people, processes, and collaboration. Coworking brings all of that together in a way traditional offices or home setups often can’t.
Here’s why it works so well.
1. A space that supports creative planning
Facilitators and experiential designers need room to think - literally and figuratively.
Beacon Tower offers a mix of spaces that support every stage of project work:
Quiet zones for writing strategy decks or planning workshops
Open tables perfect for mapping journeys, designing sessions, or prototyping experiences
Breakout spaces for collaboration, ideation, and reflection
Meeting rooms for run-throughs, client check-ins, and co-design sessions
It’s the kind of environment where the layout changes with your process - not the other way around.
2. A community of changemakers and collaborators
Experiential teams and public sector practitioners rarely work alone. Your projects involve communities, stakeholders, partners, subject experts, and often other creatives.
At DeskLodge, you’ll be surrounded by a diverse crowd of:
Designers and developers
Strategists and researchers
Non-profits and social enterprises
Government teams
Creators, consultants, and innovators
This mix often leads to new collaborators, contacts, or contributors - not through forced networking, but through natural everyday encounters.
It’s a community built on curiosity, energy, and shared purpose.
3. A central base that’s easy for participants to reach
Facilitation and experiential work typically involves bringing people together and central location matters.
DeskLodge Beacon Tower sits in the heart of Bristol city centre, making it easy for participants, partners, and community groups to attend meetings or workshops.
It also offers:
Excellent public transport links
Close proximity to cafés, public spaces, and hotels
Easy routes from universities, colleges, and public sector offices
No confusing industrial estates. No long travel times. Just a convenient, welcoming place for everyone involved.
4. Flexibility for project-based work
Public sector and experiential projects don’t always follow a predictable pattern. Workloads ebb and flow. Teams expand and contract.
Coworking supports that rhythm with:
Day passes for ad-hoc work sessions or prep days
Meeting rooms for co-design workshops, training, or stakeholder sessions
Dedicated desks for small teams working on long-term projects
Flexible memberships that scale with project phases
No rigid contracts. No unused space. Just what you need, when you need it.
5. An energising space for human-focused work
Facilitation and experiential design are people-centred and that requires environments that feel alive, not corporate or clinical.
Beacon Tower is bright, warm, social, and designed to feel accessible to all types of participants.
Whether you’re preparing for a community session, mapping a user journey, or collaborating with service designers, the space supports the emotional and creative energy your work demands.
Membership and workspace options
Experiential and public sector teams tend to work in hybrid, project-led patterns and DeskLodge makes that easy.
If you only need space during certain project phases, day passes are perfect. They let you use coworking areas, breakout spaces, and amenities whenever you need a productive reset.
Need somewhere to bring people together? Our meeting rooms are ideal for co-design sessions, stakeholder workshops, training, or planning days.
Working on a long-term programme or multi-month initiative? Dedicated desks give your team a consistent base, while keeping you connected to the wider creative and public sector community in the building.
