Pattern Slow Networking & Co-Working

Back with the last Slow Networking of 2025.

A co-working and slow networking day for creating meaningful connections and relationships.

Being a freelancer, lone or remote worker can be a difficult and isolating experience at times. It’s great to get out to see new people and network, but sometimes that investment of time can be difficult to justify. Networking events aren’t for everyone either - with only a short window of time to try and speak to as many people as possible, those interactions can often feel brief, forced and transactional.

Pattern Co-working aims to create a friendly environment to network slowly over the course of the day, make meaningful connections and meet potential new collaborators - all whilst ticking off your daily to-do list.

Everyone is welcome and we hope to bring all the best bits of office life into the day: Morning coffee, water cooler chats, private booths for calls, afternoon treats and a 4:30 flyer to the pub!

You’re welcome to just attend the morning coffee and scoot off to the office, or join us for a whole day of co-working. Equally, feel free to come and go as you please across the day if you have other meetings and commitments.

9:00 to 9:30 - Morning Coffee. A warm morning welcome where you can grab a supplied cuppa and get to know your fellow co-workers.

9:30 to 10:00 - Watercooler Chat. A chat with one of our previous Pattern Feature interviewees.

10:00 to 5:00 - Co-working. Come and go as it suits you, take calls, send emails, smash your ‘to-do list’, chat, collaborate and sip tea.

2:00 - Office Treats. Who doesn’t like it when the treats and sweets come out!?

4:30 - Getting a Flyer. It’s been a busy day, so go on - spoil yourself! Join us in the pub for a post-work drink.
