We had a lovely little "jingle and mingle" with our final co-workers of the year before we closed - taking a little break at the end of the day to share a cheese board, a mince pie and a hot mug of mulled wine!

We’ve absolutely loved meeting new co-workers this year, welcoming familiar faces back through the door, and watching our community grow throughout 2025. It’s been a joy to bring people together, witness the productive buzz and create a space where work feels brighter.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s hot-desked, co-worked, collaborated or simply popped in to check out our facilities - you are what makes this place special.

If you’d like to join our coworking community in the New Year you can book your hot desk on our website "Co-working" page.

Here’s to more connection, creativity and community in the year ahead!

Winter has officially arrived ❄️

To mark the Winter Solstice, we’re throwing it back to that incredible snowfall in 2023, when the view over Ambleside looked like a real-life snow globe and the Force Cafe Ambleside team decided to brew some very literal “iced tea” out in the snow ☕🩵

Here’s to cosy cuppas, crisp winter days and finding the magic in the colder months.

P.S. If you've left your Christmas shopping to the last minute, we've got you covered! Force Cafe Ambleside e-gift vouchers make excellent presents for the foodies in your life!

Today is our last day at Kelsick Grammar before Christmas, and what a brilliant December it’s been.

We’ve loved welcoming so many of you into the space - from co-workers and teams to workshop groups and familiar faces popping in for a brew.

Sam and the team have officially earned a well-deserved break and Kelsick Grammar will reopen on Monday 5th January, refreshed, recharged and ready for a new year of conversations, creativity and community.

Wishing you all a cosy, joyful Christmas - see you in 2026!

When the Kendal Mountain Festival team came to us looking for a space to get together with their team - it felt fitting to welcome them to Kelsick Grammar's meeting rooms with views of the stunning Lake District Fells!

We welcomed Rosina and her brilliant team here - they wanted a space for the day to step away from their usual office routine and escape the steady stream of emails. Somewhere local, but that felt different. Somewhere with fresh views, fresh air and room to think.

Kelsick Grammar ticked all the boxes - the Lake District scenery, the buzz of Force Café and bright, modern rooms. They loved having space to move between group conversations, breakouts and quieter reflection, all without losing the relaxed atmosphere.

From the moment they booked, we looked after everything. From room setups, tech checks, AV support, catering, dietary needs - the lot. They told us it made the whole experience effortless, leaving them free to focus on their people and their goals.

And the best part? The day was a huge success. Everyone felt relaxed, well fed, open to new ideas and the team left energised and connected.

Their final words: “We’ll be back.”
And we’re already looking forward to it. 🥰🫶

Perimenopause doesn’t come with a handbook. But our upcoming event might just be the next best thing!

Join us at Kelsick Grammar for a supportive and friendly evening talking about - Surviving and Thriving through Perimenopause and Menopause. This will be a down-to-earth session designed to help you navigate this chapter of life with more knowledge and confidence.

You’ll hear from

Dr Cath Munro – a Kendal-based GP and Menopause Specialist with a real passion for women’s health. She leads a dedicated women’s health clinic, trains other professionals to better recognise and manage menopause, and is all about helping women advocate for themselves and their long-term wellbeing.

Lou Turner – founder of Evolve Somatics, a trauma-informed somatic teacher and coach. Lou blends intuitive movement, somatic breathwork, guided relaxation, strength and kettlebell training, mindfulness and psychoeducation. She’ll share the “recipe” that’s helped her through menopause - movement, strength, good nutrition, sleep, HRT, connection and calm.

Together, Cath and Lou will
🔹Bust common myths around perimenopause and menopause
🔹Share practical strategies to support your physical and emotional health
🔹Guide you through simple movement and somatic practices you can take away
🔹Create space for honest conversation

If you’re in or approaching perimenopause/menopause and want to feel more informed, more supported and more like yourself again, this session is for you.

Today we’d like to introduce you to the wonderful Abi!

She’s one of those people who quietly turn great ideas into action and is a “get it done” queen! Officially Abi's our Senior Project Manager but in reality she's so much more than that - our Culture Ambassador & Fun-Time Specialist probably sums it up best!

In practice she mobilises projects from concept to implementation, keeps teams aligned, and lifts the culture while she’s at it.

Abi is also a driving force behind Impact Aid, raising money for local causes and our annual kids’ holiday. When she’s not delivering, you’ll find her decking the common room for festivities, jumping into circuits in our on-site gym, writing the legendary end-of-year quiz, moonlighting as Casper the co-worker, mastering Co-pilot (and keeping a tactical eye on the biscuit tin.)

When we asked what she loves most about being here, she said
Turning bright ideas into real outcomes (and that buzz when a project lands).
The people 🫶 common room chats, gym circuits and that “all in” team energy.
Doing good together through Impact Aid.

Next time you’re in, say hello. If your day runs effortlessly and a good biscuit appears at just the right moment, there’s a fair chance Abi’s behind it. 🍪
