Lancaster Makerspace is a community workshop, run by Lancaster and Morecambe Makers (LAMM), in the centre of Lancaster. It is a friendly and welcoming space for use by both the general public and members.
We run our open night on Wednesdays from 6:30PM for anyone to drop in, and the space is also available 24/7 for paying members.
On Wednesday evenings, the space is also available as a ‘Repair Cafe’ where you can repair and reuse broken and older items.
We can be found in Room 4, Floor 4, Harpers Mill, White Cross Business Park, LA1 4XF.
What do we do?
Lancaster Makerspace is a makerspace (aka a hackspace), open to members who pay a monthly fee. We hold regular weekly open evenings and events where we welcome visitors and community groups to the workshop.
We also facilitate public events throughout Lancaster and Morecambe, featuring accessible, hands-on demonstrations of technology and crafts, recycling, repair, upcycling and reuse, intended for both adults and children.
Our challenge is to increase collaboration and inspire innovation between micro and small businesses, local universities, schools, and private individuals, while also providing an accessible small-scale workshop for fabrication to either business or personal members.
Where are we?
You can find us at Harpers Mill, White Cross Business Park, LA1 4XF. Specifically, room 4 on floor 4 of the Harpers Mill building – access is only through the East entrance, going up steps from the main access road. We use the same building entrance as The Dance Hub.
Although parking on site is free, you must register at reception every time you visit in order to avoid a hefty fine! -A very disgruntled visitor
A lift is available for accessibility (but we’ll need to come down with the key!)
If you are making a special journey, make sure to mention that you are coming, so we can make sure that we are available!
