Leicester Hackspace

Leicester Hackspace, a venue for makers of digital, electronic, mechanical and creative projects, opened on 1st March 2014. Like other Hackspaces across the country, we are working to build a community of practical and creative people and provide them with a place to pursue their projects, share techniques and concepts and learn new skills.

We are currently situated on the first floor of unit 40 on the Faircharm Trading Estate with access to bike repair equipment, computers, a laser cutter , 3D printers, power tools and many other resources.

This space is open to members 24 hours a day.
