The launch event brought together partners, founding members, and friends from across Wigan to celebrate what is quickly becoming one of the town’s most exciting destinations for work, creativity, and collaboration.
A Day to Remember at Cotton Works
The opening of Weave Coworking wasn’t just another ribbon-cutting moment — it was a celebration of ambition, teamwork, and community spirit. Guests gathered inside the newly opened coworking space to enjoy food and drinks provided by The Three Mills, Cotton Works’ on-site beer and ale-house.
Fresh pastries, pies, and snacks filled the tables, and guests raised a glass to mark the start of something truly special for Wigan. The buzz in the air reflected what Weave Coworking is all about — bringing together like-minded people who want to work, connect, and grow in a professional yet welcoming environment.
Shaun Wane on Teamwork and Community
The highlight of the day came when England Rugby League Head Coach and Wigan legend Shaun Wane took to the stage to share a few words about hard work, discipline, and the value of community.
Drawing on his decades of experience leading top-level teams, Shaun spoke about how success doesn’t come from talent alone — it comes from consistency, standards, and teamwork. His message resonated with the audience of local business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs who understand the power of surrounding themselves with the right people.
It was a fitting speech for Weave Coworking, where collaboration and community sit at the heart of everything.
What Weave Coworking Offers
Located inside the beautifully restored Cotton Works building, Weave Coworking in Wigan offers flexible workspace options for every type of professional. Members can choose from:
- Hot Desks – perfect for freelancers and remote workers who want a productive space without the commitment.
- Resident Desks – dedicated setups for individuals who want to make Weave their everyday base.
- Private Offices – premium spaces for small teams or growing businesses that need privacy and prestige.
Every space at Weave Coworking is designed with focus, comfort, and creativity in mind — combining modern facilities with the character of Wigan’s industrial heritage.
A Thriving Community in the Heart of Wigan
Beyond the workspace, Weave Coworking is about building connections. Members have access to meeting rooms, breakout spaces, and community events that bring people together to share ideas, collaborate on projects, and form new partnerships.
The coworking hub is part of the wider Cotton Works development, which also includes Feast at the Mills, The Three Mills pub, and upcoming facilities like fitness spaces and leisure areas. It’s quickly becoming a true destination for the town — a place where work, creativity, and lifestyle come together.
As Ryan Eccleston put it, “You’d expect this kind of setup in Manchester — not Wigan.” But that’s exactly what makes Weave Coworking so special: it’s bringing big-city energy to a town full of ambition and local pride.

The opening of Weave Coworking marks more than just a new office space — it marks a shift in how people in Wigan work. It’s proof that you don’t need to travel to Manchester or Liverpool to find a professional, inspiring place to build your business.
