What is it?
A not-for-profit community Maker Festival
South London Makerspace is excited to bring you the return of South London Maker Festival after a two year absence.
You’ll find a room full of hands-on workshops, demos, games and more for young and old!
We’re taking over Station Hall, above Herne Hill station, for one day to share all the stuff we love - which is everything to do with making!
The festival is all about celebrating making, curiosity and creativity for all ages and levels of experience - we believe the only qualification needed to be a maker is the desire to make things
Expect everything from robots to origami via musical instruments, laser cutting, visual arts and 3d printing…with the odd Dalek thrown in - and talking about throwing: you might get the chance at some pottery. This promises to be a fun day with plenty of opportunities to learn about what you can do in your local community Makerspace
You’ll also be able to buy works directly from local artists and makers
