You want a small office space to rent in Nottingham that aligns with your evolving business needs and fuels productivity. As a growing company, you need flexible terms, a central location, transport access, and community. You’ll find all that and more within our creative community at Oldknows Factory.

Our converted warehouse building in Nottingham’s Creative Quarter takes you steps from shops, food, and public transit. The ultra-central location gives your team quick access to everything they need. Duck out to the nearby high street, cafés, and restaurants during breaks. Regional trains, trams and buses stop right out front, making commutes smooth. Big shopping centres are equally close for running errands.

At Oldknows Factory, you plug into a collaborative community of like-minded businesses and creatives. Network with your talented neighbours and uncover new mentorship, partnership, or collaboration opportunities. Attend social events together and strengthen connections.

Within Our Walls, It's All About Supporting You

We shape Oldknows Factory around our tenants' needs to produce their best work. From the environment to amenities and service, you are at the centre.

Short-Term Leases Match Your Evolving Business

Whether a small start-up or a growing SME, you want office space that fits where your business is now, not what it might become. Our flexible terms allow you to commit month-to-month to steadily grow into more space as needed.

Customise Your Unit for Optimal Functionality

Build out your office to perfectly match your workflow and creative process. Add partitions to section off work areas or meeting nooks. Install shelving, whiteboards, or display space as you need. Make our historical brick and concrete interiors distinctly yours.

Access Additional Private Event Spaces

Though our offices are quite versatile, we also offer extra meeting rooms you can reserve. Host clients, partners or remote team members in a dedicated space with video conferencing capabilities. Use our event venues for company-wide meetings, workshops or milestones.

Onsite Support for All Your Office Needs

Our facilities manager handles maintenance, cleaning, security, IT and all vendor coordination. Reach out anytime you need assistance to keep your office space running smoothly. We take care of it so you can focus where you should—on your team and growing your business.

Open-Concept Units Encourage Collaboration

Our small offices retain original architectural details from the building's history as a lace factory, including exposed brick, wood beams and large windows. The industrial aesthetic sets the stage for you to craft a motivational environment aligned with your company culture.

Install glass fronts instead of walls to maintain energy flow across your suite. Cluster workstations to make communication natural. Use alternative seating and collaboration nooks to spark teamwork.

A Blank Canvas for All Your Creative Endeavors

However, if you envision your perfect office environment—clean and minimalist, vibrant and eclectic, or somewhere in between—you can achieve it within our historic building. Use colour, lighting, layout, furnishings and accents tailored to how your team works best. The possibilities are endless.

Display artwork for inspiration—map concepts on chalkboard paint sections. Install smart screens and whiteboards. Grow plants to stimulate creativity. Make our raw canvas yours.

Abundant Natural Light Fuels Productivity

Our oversized factory windows flood your office with natural light. Avoid afternoon energy lags from unhealthy lighting. Instead, let daylight sharpen focus and reduce eyestrain. Studies show natural light exposure improves concentration, reduces stress, and ignites creativity. Position workstations near the windows so your team can reap the benefits.
