This place is basically my DIY dream come true! 🛠️ The team here is INCREDIBLE - super helpful and always ready to jump in with advice or lend a hand when you're stuck on a project. These folks have machines and tools for almost everything, from CNC machine to soldering iron, and you can literally bring any crazy idea to life. Want to prototype a wild invention? Craft something totally unique? Just experiment and see what happens? They've got all the gear you could possibly need. The best part? The combination of amazing equipment and even more amazing people who are genuinely passionate about helping you succeed. Every time I'm here, I'm surrounded by creativity, support, and endless possibilities. If you've got an idea brewing, this is definitely the place to make it real!

A great nest of geekery & creativity in the heart of the City's Fabric District. A welcoming community whether visiting, using the workshop or holding a permanent desk. My only regret is not getting in more often! DoES naturally attracts the mavericks, the do-ers, the creators, the crafty, the techies, the software gurus, the electronics bods and makers of all ilk. Highly recommended whether you need access to woodworking equipment, CNCs, laser cutters, fabric machines, electronics workbench or just simple deskspace.

DoES Liverpool provides is a co-working and maker space situated in Liverpool city centre. In addition to the standard workshop tools, it has 3D printers, laser cutters, a CNC router, heat press, soldering station and a range of printers and plotters. More important still is its human capital. There is such a wealth of knowledge, support and encouragement to tap into. And if they don't know, they almost certainly can put you in contact with someone who DoES!

Wonderful space for crafts of all types with a great range of equipment and tools. The lovely people at DoES have the skills to help with any project. If you're interested in getting membership, check it out on Thursday at Maker's Night or a Jelly Liverpool once a month.

DoES is a great maker space and coworking space situated only 10 Minutes from Lime Street Station. If you ask nicely they give you a guided tour around all workshops and offices. They have great machines, such as hireable 3D printers, Laser Cutters and CNC machines, sewing machines etc etc. Plus Free Coffee
