Ireland joins hundreds of coworking spaces across Europe for the fourth annual European Coworking Day
Connected Hubs and Grow Remote are partnering to host European Coworking Day at eleven locations across Ireland on Wednesday 6 May 2026, inviting remote workers, hybrid workers and anyone curious about coworking to spend a free day working from their nearest participating hub.
The event is part of the fourth annual European Coworking Day, a pan-European initiative organised by the European Coworking Assembly that brings coworking spaces across Europe together on a shared date to celebrate community, collaboration and the local impact of coworking. This year’s edition is expected to see hundreds of spaces taking part across more than 28 countries.
Connected Hubs is Ireland’s national hub network, supported by the Government of Ireland and led by the Western Development Commission. With over 400 professionally managed hubs across every county in Ireland, the network has grown significantly in recent years as more people choose to work close to home rather than commute long distances.
Grow Remote is Ireland’s leading organisation supporting remote work and the people and communities it connects. Their mission is to solve the challenges of remote work to unlock social, economic and environmental change for individuals, employers and local communities. Founded to help remote workers live and work in the places they choose, Grow Remote builds community through local chapters, events and advocacy nationwide.
The organisation has been a close partner to Connected Hubs and the Western Development Commission in building awareness and community around remote working in Ireland. growremote.ie
What’s happening on the day
Each participating hub is organising its own event locally, so opening times and activities vary. Check the details on the event booking page before you travel. There is no set agenda and no programme; just a free desk, fast wifi, and a host on site to welcome visitors, help them settle in and introduce them to the wider community. Free coworking is available for first-time hub visitors. Breakfast is free for everyone.
Leah Fairman of Connected Hubs serves as Ireland’s Ambassador for European Coworking Day, representing the Irish hub network within the wider European initiative.
“European Coworking Day is a great opportunity to open our hubs up to people who haven’t yet experienced what they offer. Hubs across Ireland are excited to be involved, and for Connected Hubs, supporting this event is part of a much wider pattern of collaboration with teams and networks across Europe as we work together to build the future of local and distributed working.”
Leah Fairman, European Coworking Day Ambassador, Connected Hubs
“Remote workers are some of the most invested people in their local communities – that’s what we see every day. Getting people into hubs like these, even for a single day, is how those connections start. That’s what Grow Remote is here for, and it’s why this partnership feels so natural.”
