If you're interested in becoming a member, visit us on one of our regular open days. On an open day you will:
- Receive a full tour of our space.
- Have a chance to meet other members and ask questions.
- Have the option of signing up.
Our open days get very busy, so to manage capacity, you need a free ticket to attend. Book your ticket for the next open day using the link below:
If no future open days are showing on the above link, then please follow us on social media to find out when the next open day is.
You'll need to bring a few things with you to the open day to be able to join the Hackspace:
- Photo ID.
- Proof of address (a drivers license is fine for both).
- Bank details, to set up a membership direct debit.
- A payment method, to buy a building access card.
Remember, you are joining a community-run space, which means everyone needs to help out a little to keep the space safe, clean, and usable. For most members this just means cleaning up your own mess and emptying the occasional bin. If you're not willing to help out, then Hackspace may not be the right fit for you. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming those who are eager to be an active part of our community.
