The Pumphouse Makerspace is a welcoming and creative hub where makers of all levels come to connect, experiment, and create. Located in a beautifully restored heritage Pumping Station, this inspiring space combines history with contemporary making in a friendly, community-focused setting.
Designed to support creative practitioners, The Pumphouse Makerspace caters to a range of disciplines including ceramics, textiles, and jewellery making. The facility offers shared studio spaces, specialist equipment, creative resources, and strong professional networks, making it ideal for both emerging and established artists.
A vibrant program of hands-on workshops led by skilled artisans encourages learning, confidence, and creative exploration. Professional development opportunities help makers grow their skills, careers, and creative practices, while the artist-in-residence program brings local and visiting creatives into the space, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Regular design markets held in the grounds showcase handmade work and create opportunities for the community to engage with local makers in a relaxed, lively atmosphere. Memberships provide ongoing access to facilities and a supportive, like-minded community.
