Welcome to Old Bank – the new home for MadFabLab, and our new Manchester City Centre base. We’ll be sharing ‘The Bank’ with previous PLANT inhabitants Standard Practice (recently included in Creative Review’s Creative Leaders 50).

Later this month our hosts at Plant are relocating to a new site. We are using this as an opportunity to take a break from running a community space in Manchester, instead channeling our efforts towards other projects in the region and internationally.

Please see below for important updates about Manchester SciFi Book Club. We are proud to annouce that Arthur C Clarke Award winning author Anne Charnock will be joining us on 20th November 2018 to discuss her novel Dreams Before the Start of Time!

It’s been a busy summer at MadLab! We’ve held *tonnes* of workshops over the summer holidays including Virtual Reality, Computer Game Design, 3D Papercraft, Stop Motion Lego and many more. Here is a run down of our most recent events…

We are excited to announce that Chris Ball, our creative technologist whizz, will be running two NEW half-day workshops this coming autumn.

As you may have heard, we were recently the recipients of *large* rent increase, forcing us to move from our lovely home on Edge Street. But HUZZAH, the folks at PLANT came to our rescue and have been the best of hosts since – helping us to continue to function as normal.

  Where better to learn WordPress than from Mike Little?

We are pleased to announce that we will be running two daytime workshops, as a follow-up to our Making It Digital programme. We are offering FREE spaces to the workshops run by Gemma May Latham, our brilliant MadLab maker, for unemployed and underemployed women based in Manchester (not Greater Manchester). If you’d like more information […]

Are you 24 or under and long-term unemployed (minimum of three months), and not currently in education or training? Do you use MadLab, and live in Manchester? Are you available to start immediately? If so, an exceptional opportunity has arisen to join the team.

MadLab has moved home! Our new permanent address is PLANT NOMA, Redfern, Dantzic Street, Manchester, M60 0AE – we don’t have a phone yet so you’re best sending us an email to office@madlab.org.uk, hire@madlab.org.uk, learn@madlab.org.uk, or fab@madlab.org.uk
