The Maker Faire UK Roundup

MakerFaire UK Banner

This post is coming to you live fromย Maker Faire UKย being held this weekend at theย Life Science Centreย here in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

That’s a wrap forย Maker Faire UKย for this year, the fifth here at the Life Science Centreย in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Growing from just 30 makers to 350 in just five yearsโ€”this year’s faire was the biggest, and loudest, yet.

Next year,ย Maker Faire UKย will be joined by aย full scale faire.ย Our third flagship event willย join theย Bay Area and New York Maker Fairesย as one of our largest, and will be held inย East Londonโ€™s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park at theย Here Eastย complex.
