coworking space in Newcastle for creatives to build a community and share ideas.

OUR GOALS

to create an environment and culture that is supportive, inclusive & celebrates creativity.

As a not-for-profit organisation, The Roost aims to create an environment and culture where people can develop their skills, explore new ground and grow their business or passion in the company of other creative minds and seasoned professionals.

ABOUT US

ESTABLISHED IN 2010

The Roost is Newcastle’s oldest co-working space, opening its doors in 2010.

Since then, The Roost has grown from strength to strength, helping creatives establish themselves in the city and moving around locations in Newcastle before finding its current home on Hunter Street.

In 2013, The Roost officially became a not-for-profit organisation, which allows us to remain the cheapest coworking space in Newcastle.
