Finding a coworking space in Nottingham used to mean committing to a monthly membership before you’d even tried the coffee. That’s changed: every coworking space Nottingham offers through Wezoo is bookable by the day, with no membership and no subscription — you pay for the desk, work, and leave. This guide covers all four bookable locations, what a day pass costs, which areas of the city suit different kinds of work, and how to book. If you’re new to desk-sharing altogether, our complete guide to coworking explains how the model works.
One operator, four addresses, zero membership. Regus runs all four Wezoo-listed coworking locations in the city, which makes comparing them refreshingly simple: same booking process, same day-pass model, different neighbourhoods and price points.

Coworking Space Nottingham: What Does a Day Pass Cost?
A hot desk at a coworking space Nottingham location costs £34.80 to £42 per day on Wezoo, booked instantly with no membership. City-centre desks at Lock House and 6 Stanford Street sit at the £42 mark, while Regus House at East Midlands Airport comes in lowest at £34.80.
For context, local memberships in the city typically run £150 or more per month for five-days-a-week access. If you need a desk twice a week or less, day passes win on simple arithmetic. Book the desk for the day. Skip the membership for good. If you’re weighing up desk-sharing against other short-term options like day offices and hourly meeting rooms, our flexible office guide breaks down when each format earns its keep.
The 3 Best Coworking Spaces in Nottingham to Book by the Day
1. Lock House — Castle Meadow Road
Lock House sits on Castle Meadow Road beside the Nottingham & Beeston Canal, a short walk from Nottingham railway station — useful if you’re arriving by train from Derby, Leicester or London. The building offers reserved co-working desks alongside breakout spaces, a lounge, catering and on-site parking, with wheelchair access throughout. Hot desks start from £42/day.
2. City Gate East — Tollhouse Hill
City Gate East puts you on the sixth floor in the heart of the city, minutes from Old Market Square and the tram network. The floor mixes reserved co-working desks with breakout areas, a coffee and tea bar, lounge and catering, and the building is close to public transport and parking. With nine desk configurations available, it’s the most flexible city-centre option of the four. Pricing is confirmed at booking.
3. Regus House — East Midlands Airport
Fifteen miles southwest of the city, Regus House at East Midlands Airport is the desk you book between flights — or when your client base lives along the M1. Desks come with natural light, video-conference equipment, a coffee and tea bar and a lounge, and at £34.80/day it’s the lowest-priced option on this list. Worth knowing if you commute by car: it skips city-centre parking entirely.
A fourth location, 6 Stanford Street, offers reserved co-working desks from £42/day near Nottingham Castle — eleven desk options, same instant booking, bookable here.
Which Areas of Nottingham Are Best for Coworking?
The canal quarter around Castle Meadow Road suits commuters: Lock House is minutes from the station, so you can be at a desk before your coffee cools. The city core around Tollhouse Hill and Old Market Square — where City Gate East sits — works best when your day mixes desk work with meetings, lunches or tram connections. Stanford Street, near the Castle and the Lace Market’s creative businesses, offers a quieter pocket one street back from the centre’s bustle.
Nottingham’s workspace demand has followed the national shift to hybrid work — the Office for National Statistics found that more than a quarter of working adults in Great Britain now split their week between home and a workplace. For many of them, that “workplace” is increasingly a booked desk rather than a leased office. Nottingham City Council has backed city-centre regeneration around the Broad Marsh and Island Quarter, which keeps the centre’s stock of flexible workspace growing.

How Far in Advance Should You Book a Hot Desk in Nottingham?
For a single desk, same-day booking on Wezoo is usually fine — Nottingham’s four locations carry dozens of desk configurations between them. Book two to three days ahead if you’re bringing two or more colleagues, want a specific location on a Monday or Tuesday — demand for coworking space Nottingham-wide peaks early in the week, or need the desk during a major event at Trent Bridge or the Motorpoint Arena, when city-centre demand spikes.
Booking takes under two minutes and cancellation is free, so the honest answer is: book the moment your plans firm up, and adjust later if they don’t. Pay for the day you work, not the month you don’t.
Coworking isn’t the only way to work in the city. If your team has outgrown desk-sharing, Nottingham also has office space in Nottingham for longer commitments, and our guide to private office Nottingham options covers lockable rooms for teams that need their own door.
