Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.
And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here! The easiest way is to post on Mastodon – if we follow you there, just add #weeknotes to any post you want included. If you’re not on Mastodon but would like to be, chat to one of the organisers and we’ll help you get started. And of course, you can always just send us an email!
MakeFest – Sunday 13th September
More details from the MakeFest team: Liverpool MakeFest is returning this year. It will be held on Sunday September 13th at The Tapestry Building in Liverpool City Centre, it’s completely free to enter but what exactly is it you’re probably wondering. Well, that’s a good question. Liverpool MakeFest is a free annual one day celebration of arts, science, technology and the wonderful things that people make. We have exhibitors from all over the country and we’ve been running since 2015. Each year people come together to share ideas, collaborate and display some of the amazing things they’ve made. From lace makers to high tech robotics and everything in between. It’s great for kids, there’s loads to see and do. We want to inspire the next generation of creatives and makers to unleash their imagination and get stuck in. There’s something for everyone, it’s on all day and we’d love you to come along. You don’t need to buy tickets, it’s completely free and open to all. So come down and have a wander around our stalls, meet the makers and chat about your ideas. We’ve been running for over 10 years and during that time thousands of people have attended, finding amazing things to see and do for all the family. So don’t forget, Sunday September 13th at The Tapestry building on Kempston Street, Liverpool City Centre. We look forward to welcoming you! Exhibitors Registration is Open now: https://liverpoolmakefest.org/
