11am — 4pm
Gwe 23 + Sad 24 Hyd

This two-day, family-friendly event showcases an exciting range of activity by makers, do-ers, DIY enthusiasts, tinkerers and artists with a taste for the technical. Be prepared to be surprised and engaged — and to go home inspired. Contributors include: Kathy Hinde who maps personal journeys in the city through improvised music and sound; The Amazing Rolo and his Wii Loop Machine (an experimental piece of software that can create, edit and shape music); Yarn and Yarn who will help you to knit your very own iPod media mitten; and Chipboard Project who design and assemble mobile laptop stations.

Other makers at the Faire include Dorkbot Bristol, Cefn Hoile, Kosbo, Ele Carpenter and Smartlab.

Tea, coffee and cakes are available and you can make your own smoothie using Carolyn Ryves’ pedal-powered smoothie maker. Plus face painting, badge making and much, much more.

Admission is free
