FAQs

What is the minimum booking length?
Our minimum fee is £17 for the full day (9am until 5pm).  To help you keep your costs down, you can book 5 days for just £69 … these do not have to be consecutive & can also be used as half days (4 hours at a time).

What is the maximum booking length?
We have a monthly subscription that you can renew month by month.  £130 per person per month or £200 for up to 3 persons from the same organisation or working on the same project.  You can Hot Desk as much as you like, Monday-Friday, between 9 – 5pm, giving great value and flexibility – a real alternative to fixed office space.

Do I have to pay each time I visit?
No, not if you opt for the monthly or 5-day booking period, which will save you time and money.

How will I know what’s going on at Venture House?

What happens when I first come to use a Hot Desk?
On your arrival, the Reception staff will ask you to complete a booking form (if you haven’t done so already).  We’ll take your payment and give you a brief induction before settling you in at your Hot Desk.  If you pay in advance of subsequent visits, you’ll just need to sign in when you arrive and then you’re ready to go!
