About this space

The Flaxworks is our open foyer area, known for its easygoing atmosphere that works beautifully for community events—from networking and discussion groups to gigs and exhibitions. It’s frequently hired as a lunch or breakout space alongside larger bookings.
The name reflects a remarkable early‑2000s community effort that turned neglected land into thriving flax fields.
