August brought the heat, the holidays, and a slightly slower summer pace in some of our spaces, but there was still plenty going on behind the scenes. Now the kids are back at school and September is well underway, here's a quick catch-up on what happened last month across our network:

📍 Bicester: The Bicester rebrand is officially underway! Keep an eye out for the new look popping up around the building ahead of our launch party on 22nd September. The team has also been busy building new relationships across Bicester and Oxfordshire as part of our ongoing community mapping.

📍 Kingston: We welcomed students from the IgnitED summer camp, who shared their experience through a series of talks and workshops. We also celebrated a huge milestone, Kingston officially turned two! 🎉

📍 Bognor Regis: August marked an exciting step as Bognor Regis officially became a station adopter with Govia Thameslink, opening the door to new community events, exhibitions and local activity. There was also a members' curry night, though sadly nobody remembered to grab any photos!

📍 Hereford: The regular Ladies Lunch continues to bring the community together every third Friday of the month, and the space hosted its first ever study day alongside partner Holly Bolt.

📍 Crewe: Another month of connection and collaboration, with our coworking community continuing to grow. We've also been working closely with the Youth Zone team as they settle into their new office space.

📍 Tunbridge Wells: A busy one! Existing members expanded into larger offices, new tenants arrived, and plenty of tours took place. We even had a visit from entrepreneur Simon Squibb.

📍 Barnstaple: The Devon heatwave made August feel properly summery, with a slightly more relaxed, holiday-season rhythm across the space.

September is already shaping up to be a busy one, with new events, connections and a few exciting launches on the way. Plenty to look forward to!

4.7 out of 5 for our team.

That score says a lot about how we operate.

Support here isn’t transactional. It’s not tickets, queues, or faceless service.

It’s real people, paying attention, making introductions, noticing when something’s needed, and stepping in at the right time.

Because the right environment isn’t just about the space, it’s about the people in it.

Let's be honest, cafés are great until you actually need to get work done.

And working from home is great, until your house starts to feel a bit too much like your office.

That's the part people don't always mention when they talk about freelancing.

It starts off brilliant. Laptop, coffee, no commute, nobody asking where you are. You can work whenever and wherever you like.

Then the little things start to bug you. You end up knowing exactly which cafés have plugs, which ones have WiFi that keeps dropping, which table you like, which ones are too loud for calls, and how long you can realistically sit there before buying another coffee.

Then there's home. Fine for a day, fine for a few days, sometimes genuinely great. But when your desk doubles as your kitchen table, your work day quietly turns into your evening, and you realise you haven't properly spoken to anyone all day, it can start to feel like a lot.

Not always, and not for everyone, but enough that most freelancers will know exactly what we mean.

You don't necessarily need an office. You just need somewhere else, sometimes.

Somewhere to sit down, get into work mode, see a few other humans, take a call without overthinking it, and then leave at the end of the day.

With pay-as-you-go membership, we're here whenever you need us.

Struggling to switch off this summer? It might not just be the heat keeping you up.

Flexible working has given so many of us more freedom over our days but working from home all the time can make it surprisingly hard to switch off. When your office is also your kitchen table, spare room or sofa, the line between "work" and "life" gets thinner than we'd like to admit.

Flexible and remote working is now part of how we work but are we starting to see a pull back toward more structure?

We don't think the answer is going back to long commutes and rigid 9-to-5s in the office. We think it's about giving people better choices.

In fact, research in our new paper found that 42% of regular home workers report trouble sleeping, compared with 29% of people who work regularly from an office. Our own member surveys tell a similar story people value having somewhere to focus, take calls, get things done, and properly leave work behind at the end of the day, without the long commute either.

Curious what else we found? Our paper "What if everyone could walk to work?" looks at how it can:

✅ Increase life expectancy and reduce physical and mental health risks
✅ Boost job satisfaction - equivalent to a £4,000 salary increase
✅ Save the average person £800 to spend on what matters to them
✅ Deliver CO2 savings equal to 44 extra fully grown trees, per commuter

4.6 out of 5.

That’s our average member satisfaction score across TownSq.

It’s not about one standout moment, it’s about showing up consistently, delivering what we say we will, and creating an environment people can rely on.

Because when the workspace runs properly, our members can focus on what actually matters, building their businesses.

That’s where trust is built.

Business can be rewarding, but that's not to say it can't be tough, and at times, really testing.

A recent survey found that 42% of UK sole traders and small business owners felt burnt out by the end of 2025. That should make us pause.

Running a business alone means the decisions, challenges, growth pains, even that delivery that didn't turn up, all live in your head.

Whilst we don't have a magic pill, we do have the space and some support to help share the challenges. Sometimes it's a proper workspace to think clearly. Sometimes it's admin support taking one more job off your plate. Sometimes it's a networking session with someone who's been through the same thing. And sometimes it's just a conversation over a cuppa, a chance to say "I'm struggling with this bit" and hear "yep, we've been there too."

At TownSq, our spaces and programmes support founders, freelancers and small business owners in the real world.
