Wirral MakeFest

Wirral MakeFest, the highly anticipated festival celebrating creativity, innovation, and community,
returns for its 3rd annual event. Taking place on Saturday, May 10th in the beautiful Birkenhead Central Library.
Wirral MakeFest promises to be a day filled with
inspiration, learning, and hands-on experiences for all ages.
With a wide array of activities, workshops, and exhibits, Wirral MakeFest 2025 offers something for
everyone. From technology enthusiasts to artists, scientists, crafters, and hobbyists with a theme of
sustainability. This year's event is set to be the most diverse and engaging yet and is part of the
Liverpool City Region’s Borough of Culture programme.
The one day free festival will feature:

● Community: Connect with fellow makers, creators, and innovators from the Wirral area and
beyond.
Wirral MakeFest has developed to be more than just a single free public STEAM event held annually; it is a dynamic, community-driven initiative designed to inspire creativity and innovation across the region for all ages and different abilities. Run by four dedicated directors, Wirral MakeFest celebrates the intersection of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, offering a platform for makers, creators, and learners of all ages.
While the annual event draws crowds with its interactive workshops, hands-on exhibits, and diverse activities, the spirit of Wirral MakeFest now extends year-round through a variety of outreach programs, educational partnerships, and collaborations that foster a passion for learning and making in the local community. By engaging people from all walks of life, WMF seeks to nurture curiosity, ignite new skills, and build a lasting culture of creativity within Wirral and beyond.
