Today is the day
Sustainability with Wirral Repair cafe
Wirral Repair Cafe joins forces with Wirral MakeFest on Tuesday the 15th of April between 9:30am and 12:30pm in the The Lighthouse Church to provide a drop in information table in Heswall, less than a month before the main event of Wirral MakeFest C.I.C calendar, with support from UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Spring events for Wirral MakeFest
Wirral Makefest C.I.C is excited to announce a series of events leading up to its highly anticipated main event at Birkenhead Central Library on the 10th of May 2025. The festivities begin with a fundraising barn dance, followed by a free plastics workshop, and culminate in a vibrant celebration of creativity and local craftsmanship.

Wirral MAYkeFest 2025
We have made the decision to shift our timing for Wirral MakeFest for 2025 and looking towards holding our event on Saturday the 10th of May 2025 and in one location only – Birkenhead Central Library. We are also proposing this will be a non-selling event. Our reasons behind these changes are very practical.
Survey – your thoughts needed.

THE LOCATION OF OUR MAKERS
We are unusual in that we are a two site event and we have made the decision to alternate between our venues in future years. Here are the locations of all our makers for Saturday either at Birkenhead Central Library on Borough Road or the Williamson Art Gallery & Museum on Slatey Road (9 minutes walk away).
Minibus between venues for benefit of people with disabilities
After much trying, we could not secure a heritage bus as we had last year – it was such an attraction. We have arranged, through very gracious support from Wirral Mencap, a minibus between our two venues for benefit of people with disabilities. The short walk between the library and the Williamson Art Gallery may be problematic for some people and cut down on their enjoyment of our event. Their driver, Ben has lots of experience driving the bus and using the rear lift so people who have need of this service can feel confident that they are in safe hands.
