Liverpool Makefest is a one-day hybrid technology and arts and crafts participatory festival where lovely makers get together to show their projects to the public, with the hope of enthusing the next generation of creative technologists and artists. It’s a fun, educational, buzzing and often wacky day that takes place in the unusual setting of Liverpool Central Library.
1963 was a pivotal year for the country and particularly Liverpool, including the new Labour government and the launch of the Beatles first album, alongside the Merseybeat musical explosion. 2023 also sees the 60th anniversary of Harold Wilson’s ‘White Heat’ of technology speech and the launch of Dr Who – both things close to the heart of Liverpool MakeFest. As we seem to be in another phase of technological transition right now we decided to celebrate everything retro and particularly 1960s retro.
We are asking our makers and visitors to dress up within the 60’s theme -fashion, fantasy, film or TV. Or just your favourite Dr Who. The will be a prize for the best maker costume, the best adult costume and the best children’s costume.
So why not come over and have some fun maybe learn a new skill, see some amazing things and have a go yourself?
