* Please consider Anchor Mate if you find yourself consistently using the space more than 3 days per week.
Half days starting/ending around 1pm are just fine. 18% discount if you (and the organisation paying your membership) are not VAT registered. Only one discount/offer can be used at any one time. 30 days notice to cancel. Still too expensive? Apply for Sponsored Membership.
Need 2 days per week rather than 3? You can switch to Occasional Mate+ after your first three months for £150+VAT.
I joined in 2012 just after my eldest son was born. I was a former art student who had turned into a web designer.
It was clear from day one that The Skiff was special. Being around developers and creators gave me the confidence to start learning coding and new technologies. It ultimately came to define my business.
A chance encounter in The Skiff led to making and publishing games. Would any of that happened without The Skiff? Maybe. But I'm not so sure.

What Skiffmates say
The Skiff is the 3rd co-working space I've worked in and by far it's my favourite. The people are very kind and welcoming.
Pierre Monnerville
Skiffmate
I had been working from home for about a year and I was scarily close to going crazy. One day I realised I hadn't spoken to another human being in 48 hours and that's when I knew I needed to shake things up.
The Skiff's laidback atmosphere and vibrant social scene was exactly what I needed.
Lizzie Davey
Skiffmate
I choose The Skiff to work from as the focus is on individual coworkers. Other spaces make most money from private office space. The office users inevitably end up using co-working space as their coffee shop.
At The Skiff we have a separate social space we can hang out in when we want a break from deep work.
Matt Oakes
Skiffmate
The space is dedicated to freelancers, not small businesses, so we don't get crowded out or treated like 2nd-class members as can happen in other Brighton co-working spaces.
Margaret Ousby
Skiffmate
The folk are friendly techies & creatives, and you can find out what they do at the weekly Show & Tell, which are fun and educational.
Conrad Brunner
Skiffmate
Since day one of joining The Skiff I have always felt like a part of the community. Its inclusivity honestly sparks a sense of freedom that allows creativity and focus that I have been unable to find anywhere else.

Support when you need it
For some, their businesses haven't yet recovered from the effects of the pandemic. Others aren't being supported by their employers to make working from home sustainable. And too many, particularly from groups underrepresented in tech, are missing out on getting to know people who work the way we work.
We offer free and heavily reduced coworking, reviewed every 3 months, with priority for people from groups underrepresented in tech. Funded by under-used coworking memberships and sponsors.
