Walsall Makerfest, Walsall

Saturday 13 September 2025
Location : Walsall Town Hall: Leicester Street, Walsall, WS1 1PT, United Kingdom
Makerfest is an annual festival of making and celebration of creativity across Walsall. This year we are taking over Walsall town hall for a maker's showcase and workshops. We will have a number of creatives running an array of workshops for members of the public to have a go at from jewellery making to woodworking.

As part of this showcase, we are also looking for people to showcase what they have made and talk to members of the public about their creations including droids, props and cosplay. We have already secured Robotslive which include two of the original robots from Robot Wars .We are hosting the second annual festival this year in the centre of Walsall where there will be a wide range of maker activities including a makers market, live music, workshops and street performances.

Last year's festival attracted around 50,000 participants to the town centre and we're hoping to achieve larger numbers this year.

Events disclaimer

Event times

The times given are the times we will be on site at the event but unfortunately this doesn't necessarily mean we will be available to meet you throughout the whole of this period. Our plan for the day is usually confirmed with the event organisers closer to the event or even on the day. We will also require refreshment breaks. You may be able to get more specific details from the event organisers themselves if you contact them for when we are scheduled to meet with the public.

Star Wars & Reel Icons costumers

This has been added to the event details to let you know what kind of costumers this event has requested i.e. Star Wars only, Reel Icons only or a mixture of costumers. With all our events, we cannot guarantee what costumers will be available to attend as we are all volunteers who do this in our spare time so it is always on a 'best endeavours' basis.

Cancellations

Unfortunately, sometimes our attendance at an event is cancelled. This is infrequent but can happen for a variety of reasons including the event itself being cancelled or rescheduled by the organiser, inclement weather, costumers that are within the locale of that event being unavailable or ill. We recommend that you check back regularly with this calendar to ensure our attendance at a particular event is still scheduled.
