Co Working Day

Today's xsite is Tim...


I tried a co working day last Friday. Outside la Box hosted the day at Babucho (www.babucho.co.uk) on The Side and it was enjoyable, fascinating and it worked! A working space that is not the office, allows a different atmosphere, meeting new people and having a delicious lunch on hand too. This one was focussed around creative practice and there will be more. Find out more and sign up at the OLB website (www.outsidelabox.co.uk).

The Ouseburn Coffee Company

Today's xsite is Adrian...

Coffee is a subject pretty close to our hearts at xsite, and in the last couple of months we've been lucky enough to be able to combine our hot beverage of choice with some actual work. Last month saw the opening of Newcastle's latest top coffee spot, 9Bar on Grey Street and in a further pursuit of that caffeine buzz we have now welcomed The Ouseburn Coffee Company into space at our Foundry Lane Studios HQ.

A nip and a tuck to our basement workshop space has seen it converted into a roastery for OCC, an independent artisan coffee retailer who now roast their specially sourced green bean coffee on site. Look out for their product around town and if you’re passing you might even be able to score an espresso at our back door, sure beats S****ucks.
