The very first Brighton Maker Faire is coming this September and organisers are looking for local makers to get involved! If you'd like to take part, be quick - you only have until 30th June to get in touch with the organisers. As a not for profit enterprise most spots are free to non-commercial exhibitors, so check out the website for more info on applying.
We're big fans of the American craft extravaganza that is Maker Faire and we're pleased that the festival, running since 2006, has inspired growing interest across the pond!
Following on the success of last year's Newcastle Maker Faire, the Brighton edition similarly aims to showcase all manner of resourceful tinkering going on behind the closed shed doors here in the South.
Described rather amusingly as being like Burning Man for the pocket pen knife set, here's a flavour of the weird and wonderful stuff that goes on across the pond . . .

Best of luck with your applications and we look forward to seeing everyone in September! ;)
