Co-Working Fridays

CO-WORKING FRIDAYS
Starting March. Every Friday. The Ministry.

THE SPACE
We’re taking over The Ministry.
Not the club. The co-working space powered by the team behind Ministry of Sound.
Same energy. Strong WiFi.
10 spots each Friday for Rare Founders.

PRIORITY ACCESS
All spots are approved manually.
Our paying members are approved first (upgrade here):
Annual Access
VIP
After members are placed, we review and approve others.

BOOKING
Each week we’ll share a fresh link to book for the following Friday.
No rolling bookings. No long-term holds.
You book weekly.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Proper focus time
Smart conversations
Random but useful intros
No beige office vibes
Some Fridays we’ll work alongside you.
Other Fridays we’ll build Rare Founders 2.0 in the same space.
Either way, the room is yours.

TIMING
Arrive whenever suits you.
Better before lunch so we spend real time together.
Stay until the building closes.

COST
£5 to lock your seat (non-refundable).
This keeps the “maybe” crew out.

RULES
If you’re accepted and:
Don’t show up
Don't get in touch with cancellation
Or cancel less than 24 hours before (We understand that things happen out of our control, but please speak to us.)
You get 1 strike.
Second time = banned for life from Co-Working Fridays.
We protect the room and the people in it.

EXTRA PERK
