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 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).
Planning your visit for the 1st of June
First step, get your ticket, then plan your route to get to us – hopefully by public transport or walking. If you have to come by car – there is a car park at the Williamson Art Gallery & Museum. All their travel information is on their website and for the library, there is a free car park on Turner Street, across Borough Road. The walk between the two venues takes 9 minutes via Balls Road (downhill from Williamson to the library).

Originally part of a Women’s Welding Collective, via years working with recycled design in South America, she is now based in North Wales and recently returned to making a new textile and mixed media collection. She often uses historical references to reflect on modern society and women’s stories. She is interested in which stories get to be told, and who is telling the tale
