Liverpool Makefest Fortnight

And that’s not all, to make a MakeFest-Sandwich you need something before the big day on June 30th, and then something after. We’ve got you covered with not just one but two more sister events.

Organised by the festival founders, raising the maker-spirits of Liverpool and aimed at families on Saturday 24th June there will be a Digital Horse Parade! Followed by a performance from Professor Elemental at our venue’s Discover Library!

The parade will be built from music, craft and coding workshops at upcoming Hack to Hack; Cargo to Coding events in the city. There’ll be more details on these events next month. Educators keen to champion a culture of making in their practice should check out an upcoming conference “MakerNoiseUK” which takes place on Saturday 7th july at Edge Hill University.
