Does a co-working place provide any benefit to a freelancer

I'm a freelance developer. I've been working from home for 2.5 years, with a quite solid set-up: I've my regular customers and a stable economical situation. PROBLEMS I CAN SEE IN MY FUTURE I'm very focused and specialized on an old programming language that will be obsolete in 5 or 10 years. I'm not building a network, despite the fact that I can understand its importance So, today I was watching youtube videos about a co-working spaces company, and thinking that maybe I'm missing some opportunities. Does, according to your experience, a co-working space help creating new relations or provide any other hidden benefits? Can you share your experience and the pros and cons you've noticed? EU-IT if matters.
