I needed to find a place to work last minute during a stay in Newcastle. I found The Racquets Court on Google, phoned to check there was space and 20 minutes later was sitting at an excellent hot desk in a fabulous, centrally located shared office space in central Newcastle. I was warmly greeted by Malcom and team, guided round the facilities, including a well stocked kitchen, free tea and coffee - even a beer if I wanted one!! the meeting rooms looked excellent too, and again the team were so attentive to the people using them. It was just what I needed and did not break the bank. Totally recommend.

A brilliant space to come and work. Relaxing, warm and most importantly, friendly. I would highly recommend to any professional looking for a short or long term work space.

I booked one of the meeting rooms because the location is so central. The online booking process was very straightforward. When we arrived I was suitably impressed - lovely staff, fantastic light and airy spaces, large meeting room with all the facilities you could need. Plus coffee and biscuits on tap. Will definitely use again and would really consider the co-working desks too. A great and very professional environment.

I spent a few days working from the Racquets Court whilst visiting family in Newcastle, and had a great experience. The location is ideal (right in the city centre), facilities are first class (particularly the wifi - far outstrips that of any co-working space I've used in London) and the staff are friendly and helpful. Great value too. Thoroughly recommended for anyone looking for a temporary desk in Newcastle - certainly beats working from the spare room!

We booked one of the meeting rooms at Racquets court for my companies quarterly board meeting. Bex looked after us and make us feel welcome on arrival, the room was fully prepared on arrival with tea, coffee, biscuits and fruit. Bex responded to any queries quickly and was a pleasure to deal with. I'm sure my company will be using the facilities again in the future.
