Liverpool MakeFest, the UK’s biggest, FREE, family friendly festival celebrating all things ‘makey’. This year it is held at The Tapestry, off London Road.

Liverpool MakeFest was founded by Mark Felthan, Caroline Keep and Denise Jones in 2015. Liverpool MakeFest will be back in June 2022. We can’t wait! Would you like to run a workshop, show us your robot, demonstrate your latest project, or show people how to make cool stuff? Then please get involved! We’re looking for cool, fun exhibits, demos, activities and workshops that will inspire people to start their OWN projects and make things. It can be as hi-tech or lo-tech as you like, big or small, finished or a work in progress. We’d love to have you all. Make sure to follow us @lpoolmakefest on twitter and instagram.

Do Epic Stuff received a lot of interest on Sunday at Makefest - so much so, they have organised tours.

See The Space is a guided tour of the DoES facilities, showing you both the exciting equipment they have for people to use, and explain how the community works and how you can become a member.

🚶Introductory Liverpool Irish Famine Trail tour – this weekend!

There’s still time to join the next Liverpool Irish Famine Trail introductory walking tour, taking place on Sunday 19 April (11am–1pm)!

Led by historian John Maguire of ArtsGroupie CIC, this guided walk explores Liverpool’s experience of An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger) and the journeys of the many Irish people who arrived in the city during the 1840s.

From the docks where migrants first landed to the streets and buildings that offered refuge, the tour reveals how these stories shaped Liverpool and its communities.

📍 Meet at The Pilotage Building (near the Museum of Liverpool)
🎧 Includes guided commentary, headsets and our trail app for an immersive experience.

👉 Places are limited - book ahead to secure your spot.
