What our clients say
"I've tried many co-working spaces and Olive and Wilde Studios is HANDS DOWN the best I've ever had the pleasure of working in... When I'm working here, I feel at home but it's more than that, it drives my creativity and locks in my productivity. Laura makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in that front door."
"As someone who usually works from home, it's been refreshing to be surrounded by friendly, creative people. The atmosphere is welcoming and inspiring, making it easy to connect, share ideas, and collaborate. Everything is thoughtfully designed, so working here is not just productive, but genuinely enjoyable."
"Although interior design led, the space is great for any creative or business person to come and work in peace and focus. I really value Laura's focus on community and fostering collaboration and use the space several times a week."
The things people usually ask
If your question isn't here, just get in touch. We're happy to chat it through.
Ask a questionNot exclusively. We welcome any independent professional who values a well-designed environment. That said, the studio tends to attract designers, stylists, architects and founders, so if you're comfortable in that company, you'll feel right at home.
None. Your membership covers unlimited access during opening hours, WiFi, printing, tea and coffee. The price you see is the price you pay. No surprises, no small print.
Absolutely. Day pass holders and members are welcome to bring a guest into the main studio space. For more formal client meetings, our private meeting room is available to book separately. It's a much better backdrop for a client presentation.
We ask for one month's notice to cancel. There's no long-term contract, because we'd rather earn your loyalty than lock you into one.
Yes. Several public car parks are within a couple of minutes of the studio, and the town centre is easy to reach on foot from most of Dorchester.
A room that makes the right impression every time
Our private meeting room is available to hire separately. A calm, design-led backdrop that makes you look every bit as credible as you are. Whether it's a client presentation, a team catch-up or a focused thinking session, it's ready when you are.

The studio runs a regular programme of industry events, creative workshops and community evenings, the kind of things that remind you why you got into this in the first place. Members get first dibs on tickets, but everyone's welcome.
