Helping busy Brighton professionals regain their Work Life Balance

And it all happens under one roof…

Our Story

As working parents of young kids, we believed that there must be a better way to cut the commute and ease the daily juggle!

We were sick of running the gauntlet of buses and backseats, constantly rushing back and forth between lives, having to leave one early but still arriving late at the next. The constant stress of balancing professional and family needs was taking its toll and we were fed up with missing out.

And our friends felt the same. Even taking kids out of the equation we all asked; where’s the balance?

So we designed WRAP, a place where all the family can Work, Rest and Play.

A place where hybrid working feels great, where your children can enjoy on-site childcare, where the coffee flows and the vibe is home-from-home.

Just the way we like it, and all less than a minute’s walk from Brighton Station.

    Sustainability

    Environmental responsibility is at the forefront of every decision we make from the early days of designing our coworking space and nursery, through to energy efficiency and the day-to-day running.

    We have a zero-waste goal, using reusable nappies and cutting out single-use plastic. Our nursery menu is also 100% plant-based and home-made on-site.

    Charity Partnership

    WRAP offers a 20% discount on all memberships and meeting room bookings to charities and non-profit organisations. We also provide our space in kind, when possible, for charity events or panel talks. Some charities we are proud to have supported are:

    Sussex Bay, Emerging Futures, Gaydio, Marine Conservation Society, Breadwinners, All Sorts Youth, Baton of Hope

  • Cliffs of white chalk on a seaside landscape with green grass and calm blue water.

    1% For The Planet

    We are proud to announce that going forward, WRAP Space will be donating 1% of revenue to Sussex Bay to support their incredible conservation efforts across our coastline.


    The income will be shared initially with The Sussex Dolphin Project, to help fund a dedicated research vessel, which will enable much more valuable scientific research of the Sussex Bay marine environment.

    Supporting Local Artists

    Twice a year we thoughtfully curate a display of selected artworks in collaboration with local artists, many of which are based in Phoenix Artspace or across the Five Ways Artist Group.

    WRAP provides a free exhibition space where artists can see their work within a lively setting across bespoke interiors, offering something a bit different to a traditional gallery setting.

    Raising The Next Generation

    Our nursery is a truly unique setting. We believe that children are born explorers and have natural curiosity so we provide plenty of opportunities for children to problem-solve, experiment and learn about the world around them.

    We trust that children learn best through play and hands-on experiences so encourage imagination through role play and take daily trips into our community which helps our children develop strong social skills and learn all aspects of living in our diverse society.

    "Excellent coworking space next to Brighton train station"

    Friendly, professional environment with great facilities, coffee, etc. Best thing for me is that the memberships are more flexible than most of the local co-working spaces, you can pause or cancel without notice, perfect if you're nomadic / impulsive.

    "Our team felt very looked after"

    A brilliant place to hold a meeting - well equipped with attentive and approachable staff, lovely modern spaces, good tech, nice loos. Really well located so close to the station too. Our team felt very looked after and we'll definitely be back.

    "A beautiful space with a good vibe"

    “I love using the WRAP space for my female founder 'Thrive' events. The space is flexible, and can be used in a number of different ways, depending on the aim of your event. It is a beautiful space with a good vibe! There is some beautiful artwork by local artists on the wall, and the interior is decorated tastefully. And most importantly, the WRAP team are super-helpful and accommodating, and make hosting an event a lot less stressful. I will definitely be using the space again”.

    "Facilities, location, convenience and friendliness are all excellent"

    “We've used the WRAP co-working space & nursery for nearly a year and would highly recommend. Facilities, location, convenience and friendliness are all excellent.

    Lifestyle wise, the location means you can do things in Brighton after work […] A very productive, dynamic environment where I can get more done. […] The vibe and décor is very much how you might wish it to be in your ideal home, we love being surrounded by the art in WRAP. We do look forward to Fridays at WRAP!”

    "A really special space that ticks all the boxes"

    “Really gorgeous co-working areas, the dedicated offices are all beautifully decorated with amazing views over the city from a vantage point you rarely get in Brighton. It's literally a 30 second walk from the front door to the entrance of Brighton train station. The staff are all really lovely, the coffee is great and always topped up and they're always on hand to help out with any issues.”

    "We can finally balance work, parenting and other aspects of our lifestyle"

    My partner and I have been Wrap members for a while now and it works so perfectly for us. Having a dedicated space where we can get our heads down and work, or just chill out with a cup of coffee is just what we needed. And with the added bonus of having our little one in the nursery downstairs, it feels like we can finally balance work, parenting and other aspects of our lifestyle. Special shout-out to the balcony too - such a dreamy little spot!

    "It couldn't be any better for someone commuting to the city by train"

    “Spoiler alert: This is the BEST office space we've used so (and by) far. I booked this space in Brighton, right next to the train station, and it couldn't be any better for someone commuting to the city by train.

    Full of vibrant colours, comfortable sofas, great views of Queen's road, and postcard-worthy views of the entire city with the sea as a background. The fun, quirky Brighton vibe is apparent everywhere in the office. Highly recommend!”

    "Ideal if you want a productive day in a welcoming, well-designed environment"

    I spent a day working at WRAP in Brighton and had a great experience. The space is bright, modern, and just a short walk from the station. The vibe is relaxed but professional, with fast Wi-Fi, good coffee, and plenty of natural light. I really appreciated the friendly staff and the thoughtful extras—like a rooftop terrace and cozy lounge areas.

    "The Best Snack Perks!"

    I greatly enjoy WRAP! It is a very aesthetically pleasing unlike other coworking spaces that feel chaotic and a bit worn. I appreciate that there are spaces where you can get away and have a quiet space yet be in community. Plus they have some of the best snack perks of any coworkering spaces I know. Plus it is a prime location!

    Lovely place run by lovely people. Gorgeous space to work in, with lots of perks from cakes and fruit and local discounts to community events and workshops.

    "A work share place that cares"

    WRAP a very calming place to work, with great views over Brighton.Lovely high ceilings, space to breathe and they support the arts in Brighton. Big lovely meeting spaces and it’s bang outside Brighton Station. Lovely big kitchens to cook up a healthy lunch to! They have a crèche too, so if you have a little one it’s perfect. 💖 Everyone who works there is lovely and helped when needed. They also have lots of well being opportunities to take part in.
