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.

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.

Performances at Wirral MakeFest
Performances at Wirral MakeFest. We are delighted that we have a very full spoken word, poetry and music component to both sites.

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).

From Jules: introducing Wendy
Things to know about me.. I love to make strange noises and make up words.Oh, and I am what we call ‘disabled’. The other two things are far more interesting than my inability to do steps or hear what you are saying to me! Wirral Makefest C.I.C have been looking closely at accessibility this year, both venues are pretty good overall with minor tweaks needed.
