Kildare's remote workers can get free day in this co-working hub

Newbridge Business Centre in Co Kildare is set to open its doors to remote and hybrid workers on May 6 as part of European Coworking Day, offering a free day of hot-desking, networking and community engagement.
The event, running from 8.30am to 6pm, will provide attendees with access to high-speed Wi-Fi, workspace facilities and complimentary breakfast, as part of a nationwide initiative led by Grow Remote in partnership with Connected Hubs.
Located in the historic Charlotte House in Newbridge, the business centre is one of more than 400 hubs across Ireland participating in the initiative, which aims to promote flexible working closer to home.
Hub manager Sinead Smyth said the event reflects a broader shift in how people across County Kildare and the wider commuter belt are choosing to work.
“Working in a local hub gives people their time back. Without long commutes, they can still complete a full day’s work while having more time for family, fitness and community life,” she said.
She also highlighted the social benefits of coworking, noting that shared workspaces can help reduce isolation often experienced by remote workers.
The open day will have no formal schedule, allowing participants to experience a typical working day in a hub environment while connecting with others in the area.
The event is open to anyone working remotely or in a hybrid role, as well as those curious about coworking.
Free tickets are available online at eventbrite.ie, with registration required due to limited capacity.
