Makerspace General Induction

What is the Waiting Room?A DIY Venue providing shared access to a presentation and performance space for people to self organise gigs and events.A physical workshop with a growing list of tools and equipment for local artists and makers.An Open Kitchen for up-and-coming chefs and food producers to develop their skills and prototype new ideas.Our do-it-yourself cooperative ethos means we can try new things, take risks and provide a home for unique, cutting-edge, alternative content – stuff you don’t get elsewhere.Every penny you spend at our events is reinvested directly into developing our workshop, venue and open kitchen, to support local makers and artists.
