Oxford Hackspace

Oxford Hackspace is a non-profit, volunteer-run, member-owned workshop community for gentle people who love to make things and want to see a better world. Both personal projects and professional prototyping are welcome here. We are the oldest hackspace and makerspace in town by 7 years, existing since 2010. In normal times, we operate an accessible... workshop, studio and social/event space 7 days a week in the city centre. Here we provide tools and space, offer tool and design training in the tools we have, and run free or cheap to serve the hacking needs of Oxford's creative maker community. We also add new tools intermittently based on member interest, on a best effort basis. Thousands of hours of volunteer effort were invested last year in providing this for community benefit. We hold social evenings every Thursday night, hackathons on various social, environmental and just plain fun issues, professional networking events, and games nights amongst others. Our members include crafters, designers, highly-skilled engineers, artists, programmers, and other creative people. If you're looking for a place in Oxford to work on projects or you are seeking like-minded people to work with, then we may be a good fit. Due to funding cuts and a shortage of space for non-profits in Oxford, however, as of 1 March 2018 we are currently between physical spaces. All of our tools are packed up, but membership is still open to new supporters, and our Thursday public open nights still continue every week in local venues-see our on a Thursday for details. So, please bear with us for the next while and check back often as this is not "normal times." Upcoming pop-up events will appear on our Meetup page , and big news will appear on our Twitter . We aim to have new premises back up and running as soon as is practical.Read More
