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.
