Main Info

Makers Central is back at the NEC, bringing together creators, hobbyists and artists from all over the world.

Visitors young and old can get involved with a selection of interactive sessions, including woodworking, metalworking, electronics and leathercraft.

Everyone from experienced makers to families and first-time triers can have a go at making things with new technologies, along the way gaining a better understanding of the science behind how things are made. Numerous makers-community YouTube stars and social-media influencers will be putting in an appearance across the weekend, including Britain’s very own inventor & maker Colin Furze and the star of Netflix’s Making Fun, Jimmy Diresta.
