More Than a Venue — A Home for Purposeful Gatherings

We’re living in a time of noise, burnout, and surface‑level everything. But people are craving something more. Real connection. Real stories. Real change.

That’s why we created the Cuppa Co-Lab — a space designed for thinkers, doers, storytellers, teams, authors, and creators to come together not just to meet, but to make meaning.

Whether you’re launching a book, filming a show, running a workshop, or hosting a panel, the Co-Lab is where conversations go deeper — and ripple out further.

This isn’t just where events happen.

It’s where movements take flight.

Studio-Ready

Lights, mics, action. Professional filming and livestream gear built for shows, interviews, and content that connects.

What Our Clients Have To Say

Leanne Glamuzina

I recently hosted an offsite at Luke Cook’s new venue, Cuppa Co-Lab, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.

The facilities are beautifully designed – welcoming, functional, and perfectly set up for a productive team session.

The service was exceptional, with genuine care, attention to detail, and support that made everything feel effortless.

What made the experience even more special was hearing Luke’s story and the passion behind what he’s building at Cuppa. It truly resonated and added an extra layer of meaning to the day.

I couldn’t recommend the venue more highly for anyone looking for a space that combines quality, warmth, and thoughtful hospitality.

Having hired countless venues over the years for workshops, events and Town Halls, I can honestly say Cuppa’s new space is one of the best.

I recently hosted my Rise and Thrive workshop there and it was the perfect setting. Light, airy, and beautifully presented — it had everything we needed, from a welcoming greeting area to AV, music, and the most impressive Nespresso coffee machine I’ve used. If you’re looking for a versatile space for workshops, meetings, or gatherings, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I’m the author of the Hardiness Effect and I have actually just done my book launch at the Cuppa Co-Lab and it was bloody awesome. I was not thinking about a book launch at all. And then I spoke to Cookie about it and just the way that he organises it and brings people in is just friggin awesome. And the interview style was just really, really cool. 

So if you’re an author and you’re thinking about a book launch, get yourself down to the Cuppa Co-Lab.
