Question 1

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The dedicated co-working space at Social Refuge is accessed via a small ramp near the main counter, then a door via outside access route to get into the space (otherwise there are two sets of stairs!) just ask at the counter when you arrive and they'll help you reach us!

Question 2

Do I need to be a writer?

Accepted Answer

You can just be writing curious! We're made up of a mix of writers of all sorts — there's no real limit — we just want to help offer a very relaxed space where folks can write, whether they're just starting out or have been writing for years.

Question 3

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yup! We're hosted generously by Queer Lit and Social Refuge. If you can afford to buy drinks, food or books it helps to support our hosts, but they appreciate not everyone will be able to! We cannot bring in our own food & drink however.

Question 4

Are there plugs and charging points?

Accepted Answer

Yep the long tables in the co-working space have lots of plugs/charging points built in to them.

Question 5

What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

Whatever you're writing with if you're planning to write — or just yourself if you'd just like to come along and have a brew and meet our writers to check out the vibe.

Question 6

Can I bring in food & drink?

Accepted Answer

We can’t — our space is donated to us by Queer Lit & Social Refuge who are a cafe & bar as well as a bookshop.
