One of our ReCreators or members will be onsite Monday-Friday 10-3 pm. We intend to run open evenings every Thursday evening from 6-8 pm. Come along and see what we are all about.
Can I come and try the space out before I join? Yes, we encourage people to try one session for free before joining if they wish. Fill in the contact form and arrange a time to visit
Can anyone join?
The RE: MAKER SPACE aims to foster an inclusive, diverse and friendly culture for all members.
The space is open to all. However, if the kids are below 16, then its mandatory that a guardian accompanies them. If they are 16 or 17, they need a parent waiver before they can use the space.
Do I need previous experience?
All new members need to go through our online training programme and show competence onsite with tools before being given yellow and red access. We also recommend members attend The ReCreators Power tools 101 and 201 workshops. They are great events for building confidence as well as teaching upcycled design thinking.
Please understand the Health & Safety issues inherent in working with all equipment. You must be able to work confidently and independently on your own projects. Please check with the onsite supervisor if you are unsure.
Can I bring children to the RE: MAKER SPACE?
Yes, but children have to be 8+ and all those under 16 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult. The makerspace is an open environment however some tools are not suited for young kids. Please note that our staff are not in charge of the supervision. 16- or 17-year-old kids will require an adult waiver before they can access the space. Please send us an email at to find out more.
