WELCOME OUR COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS/HACKSPACE

“HACMAN MANCHESTER”

Wednesday Open Evening Tour Time has changed for 2026.  (See Visit Us page for info.)

Our Hackspace is a community volunteer member run workshop and making studio in Manchester City Centre.

With hundreds of members and growing, a huge range of tools and equipment, and dedicated wood, metal, crafts, 3D printing, textiles and electronics workshops, you can make your ideas reality here.

As part of their membership contribution, members give back through their time volunteering here, whether that be fixing tools, running training sessions or running open evening tours. This allows us to keep our membership subscription costs so affordable and facilities as expansive as they are.
