Liverpool MakeFest is a festival celebrating all things 'makey' in the north-west, showcasing things people have made, projects people are working on, inventions, gadgets and hands-on activities including, coding, hacking workshops and demonstrations.

This year we have taken over and extra library floor, spilled outside and are hosting Mersey ComicCon during the festival, so expect to see stormtroopers, R2D2 units and Daleks rubbing shoulders with high-tech NERF shooting, virtual reality, robotics, drones, coding, 3D printing, arts and crafts, hacking and fun science in abundance. We have over 50 maker stands, workshops and demonstrations and a host of ComicCon stalls and Cosplay competitions to make the day the geekiest ever. We’re VERY excited!!
