Breakfast Social and Coworking Day

Society1 is hosting a Breakfast Social and Coworking Day on Thursday 5 November, a morning of coffee and networking in the city centre with the option to stay on and work for the rest of the day. It's run by the venue itself, which is an independent coworking space at 9-10 Cross Street, just off Winckley Square. They do hotdesking, dedicated desk space, meeting room rental, and virtual offices, so this is one of their open-door days rather than a separate event brought in from elsewhere.

The morning part is the Breakfast Social Coffee Hour, from 10am to 12pm. It's a chance to get out of the house, have a coffee, and chat with other people working in the city. Society1 describes it as a relaxed break from the usual routine and a way to meet others with similar working experiences. If you've never used a coworking space before, they frame it as a good way to find out what it's all about. It's aimed at anyone working from home or for a company, and they describe it as a friendly, welcoming experience.

If you want to keep going after the coffee hour, you can upgrade to the full coworking day, which runs from 10am to 5pm. That gives you a desk to work from for the whole day, so you can get your actual work done while you're already in town. Tea, coffee and biscuits are included in the afternoon work pass, so you've got the fuel sorted for the stretch after the social part wraps up.

There are two ways to do it: the Breakfast Social Coffee Hour from 10am to 12pm is £12.50, and the full Breakfast Social and Society1 Coworking Day from 10am to 5pm is £21.50. You can arrive from 9am, and on the day, access is by buzzer near the front door, then reporting to reception.
