Meet Casper the co-worker… and his partners in crime, Connor and Claudia. 👻

It's safe to say, they’ve settled in rather well. And honestly, who can blame them?

Plenty of space to work, good coffee, great food, cosy breakout areas and meeting rooms with misty fell views.

If you’re looking for somewhere a little different to work, meet or gather this autumn, come and make Kelsick Grammar your new haunt.

We promise Casper, Connor and Claudia are the friendliest of ghosts 👻

This October, we’re ghosting meetings that should have been emails, staring at the same four walls all day, back-to-back calls with no fresh air and sad lunches hunched over the laptop.

Ghost the bad work days and make Kelsick Grammar your new haunt.

There's a proper workspace, good coffee, great food and fresh air on the doorstep waiting to level up your work days.

Cosy season is officially here and honestly, we’re not mad about it.

There’s something quite nice about swapping the kitchen table for a warm workspace, getting a proper few hours of focused work done and rewarding yourself with a ridiculously generous slice of cake from Force Café.

Add in good coffee, superfast WiFi, plenty of tea, Lakeland views and the option to stretch your legs around Ambleside when you need a break...

Working through autumn suddenly feels a little more appealing.

Sometimes it’s not about completely changing HOW you work. It’s just about changing WHERE you work.

If the darker mornings and same four walls are starting to get a bit much, come and spend a coworking day with us at Kelsick Grammar. We'd love to welcome you!

Hundreds of people walk past this building every week. But how much do you actually know about it?

Kelsick Grammar has been part of Ambleside’s story for well over a century.

The building was constructed in 1906 using money from the Kelsick Educational Foundation, which was created from the will of John Kelsick after his death in 1723.

His legacy was intended to help young people in the local community fulfil their potential through education.

The school opened in 1907 and remained Kelsick Co-educational Grammar School until 1965, before later becoming part of Charlotte Mason College and the University of Cumbria.

So when you walk through the doors today, you’re stepping into a building with generations of local history behind it.

Parents, here’s your friendly reminder: October half term is incoming.

You want to spend time with the kids. But there are probably a few things on the work list that really do need your full attention.

Rather than squeezing them into the gaps between days out, muddy walks and “Muuuum/Daaaaad” every five minutes, why not carve out a few proper hours to focus?

Book a hot desk at Kelsick Grammar in Ambleside, get your head down, get stuff done, then close the laptop and get back to half term properly.

Half day £12 | Full day £24
Unlimited tea, coffee & biscuits | Superfast WiFi
Soundproof pods when you really need to concentrate

A little focused work time can make the rest of half term feel much more like half term.

If you know you’ll need a few quiet hours this October, it’s worth getting your desk booked early.

Take this as a sign to upgrade your lunch break...

Because a working day doesn’t have to mean eating something quickly at your desk before opening the next tab.

At Kelsick Grammar, you can get a focused morning’s work done, then properly step away from the screen.

Grab lunch or a coffee from Force Café.
Head out for a walk around Ambleside or up to Stock Ghyll Force.
Take in the views.
Then come back feeling a little more refreshed for the afternoon.

You’ll still have all the things you actually need to get work done, including superfast WiFi, a professional workspace and plenty of tea and coffee.

But sometimes it’s everything around the work that makes the biggest difference.

So if working from home is starting to feel a little too much like… well, being at home, come and spend a day with us. 🙌

Book your coworking desk at Kelsick Grammar via our website. We can't wait to welcome you!
