Before contacting us, please check this short FAQ in case it answers your question.

Are you still open? / Are your open evenings still on? / Can I come take a look?

Yes! We hold open days every few months, where you can have a tour of the space and join sign up if you wish. Full details here.

Are your regular Thursday open evenings still on?

No, we now hold an open day every few months rather than open evenings on Thursdays. This change allows us to offer higher-quality tours to prospective members, and make better use of limited volunteer time.

I only need to use this one tool, could I just quickly…?

Sorry, due to our membership-based structure and insurance stipulations, our facilities are only available to our members, and cannot be hired or used on a one-off basis.

I need to start my project urgently! Can I join and start working immediately?

Once you join the at an Open Day, you can start using the space immediately!

Please be aware that a few pieces of of our equipment (such as the welder, lathes, and laser cutter) also require you to undertake a safety induction before you can use it. These inductions are run by volunteers in their spare time, and can take a little while to arrange. For these reasons, we might not be best choice if you need immediate use of the facilities.

Can you fix my…?

This is not a service we aim to provide, you may be better off trying one of Bristol's numerous Repair Cafes.
