What is different about a Swurf host venue?

We carefully select venues to feature on the app and we make sure all venues sign-up to our host manifesto before they are allowed to join. This ensures host venues recognise and most importantly, welcome Swurfers into their spaces.

Can I book a work space via the app?

Some venues allow booking, just use the ‘Book Now’ button in the App which will take you in to the venues booking system. Make a note that you are a Swurfer and the venue can acommodate your needs.

Booking is not essential, most venues encourage walk-ins promoting freedom and flexibility to work where and when you work best, without commitment.
