Our membership is £28 per month — plus a bit of your time. As a fully volunteer-run workshop, we rely on members pitching in to keep the Space thriving. Whether it’s helping maintain tools, organising events, or sweeping up, every little bit counts.
We operate on a flat-rate membership model — there’s no pay-per-use or pay-as-you-go system. This helps cover our fixed costs and keep the Space sustainable. However, we do offer reduced rates for members facing financial hardship. Please get in touch if this applies to you.
Before joining, we strongly recommend coming in for a tour to see how everything works. We run Open Evenings every two weeks on Wednesdays — check our Events page for the next one.
Please note: Some areas and tools, like the wood workshop, laser, etc. require a safety induction, and currently there’s up to a 1–3 month wait for some of those due to high demand. But don’t worry — many areas (like textiles, electronics, and more) are accessible without an induction, so there’s plenty you can start working on right away.
When you’re ready to dive in and join us, start by signing up to our online forum, Discourse, and follow this step-by-step guide to complete your membership setup.
Discourse is also the heart of our community — a place to ask questions, share projects, and stay in the loop. Without joining as a member you are welcome to join the discussion and any of our public events, like Open Evenings, Textiles Nights, or Electronics Evenings.
Lastly, we’re always looking for experienced makers to help run inductions and maintain the space — particularly in woodworking, metalwork, ceramics, printmaking, and more. If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you!
