Weekly co-working club and writing session with two hours of focused work followed by a drink at the bar, free but registration required.
Writers Cafe is back at Barnaby's Lounge in Hastings on Tuesday 3 November, part of its regular run every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00 to 5:00pm. It's a co-working club and writing snug that splits its sessions into two halves: two hours of quiet, focused working followed by a drink downstairs at the bar.
If you've spent any time trying to get words down at home, you know how hard it is to actually stay in the chair. The first part of the session is designed for exactly that — a couple of hours where you just put your head down and get on with it, surrounded by other people doing the same. It's a way of carving out a dedicated window for writing when you might otherwise spend the afternoon putting it off. When the clock hits five, the working part wraps up and everyone heads downstairs to the bar for a drink, which is where the social side of the club comes in.
It's a straightforward setup: you show up, do your work, and then wind down with a drink. Because it runs twice a week, it's easy to make a habit of it rather than treating it as a one-off. If you're working through a project or just want a regular spot to keep your writing moving, having a set time and place can make a difference.
