Coming to Blackpool for Business?
Make The Robinson Your Base for the Day
Many people traveling into Blackpool for business meetings, conferences, exhibitions, training and events, often spend considerably more time in town than the appointment itself requires.
A meeting may only last an hour, while the train home is not until later that afternoon. A conference might start at 11am, despite arriving in Blackpool much earlier. There may be work to catch up on between appointments, a video call that can’t wait, or an opportunity to meet a client while in the area.
For consultants, business owners, remote workers, speakers, exhibitors and delegates working away from their usual office, having somewhere to go can allow for these gaps to still be productive.
That’s where The Robinson can become part of the business day.
Located in Blackpool town centre, The Robinson offers a flexible co-working space and meeting rooms for people who need somewhere to work, meet, or spend a few valuable hours catching up.
Co working in Blackpool for the day
Working from a cafe, hotel lobby or train station is not always practical. Privacy can be limited, calls can be difficult and finding a suitable place to work at short notice can take valuable time out of the day.
Co-working at The Robinson can help to alleviate these issues. Visitors can use the space for half a day or a full day, with super-fast Wi-Fi, complimentary tea and coffee, printing facilities and designated breakout areas.
It provides somewhere to prepare ahead of meetings, respond to emails between appointments or finish some work before travelling home. For those spending most of the day in Blackpool, it can also become a central point to return to between meetings around town.
Half-day and full-day co-working passes are available, and first-time users can take advantage of a free co-working day pass (T&Cs apply).
Meeting rooms in Blackpool town centre
A day in Blackpool can also create opportunities for meetings beyond those already in the diary.
People attending the same conference may want to continue a conversation afterwards, while a visit to Blackpool could provide an opportunity to meet a client based locally. Colleagues travelling from different locations might also find Blackpool a convenient place to get together.
The Robinson offers 6 meeting rooms, accommodating between 6 and 20 people. Available to book by the hour, they can be used for client meetings, interviews, presentations, training, team meetings or private 1-2-1 conversations.
Each room includes super-fast broadband and a large presentation screen, with facilities for Microsoft Teams video calls. Temperature-controlled rooms also provide a comfortable environment for longer meetings.
Workspace near Blackpool North and Blackpool town centre venues
The Robinson is situated in Blackpool town centre, a short walk from Blackpool North train station and within easy reach of key central venues including the Winter Gardens and Blackpool Conference & Exhibition Centre.
An early arrival into Blackpool can become useful working time before an event begins. A break in a conference schedule can provide an opportunity to catch up on work, while time before the return journey can be used to follow up on conversations from the day.
Workspace Operations Coordinator and Building Manager Louis Darbyshire says “No two working days ever look the same. We welcome people who are based here every day, alongside those who might be in Blackpool for a meeting, an event, or simply need somewhere to work for a few hours. The flexibility means people can use The Robinson in a way that works for them and their day.”
