On Saturday it was Liverpool Makefest at Liverpool Central Library and we were taking part. At a rough count, three MiaB were there, two of ours and one that belonged to the Library, showing the #Unearthed collection.
But, what a fantastic day and so lovely to be able to tell so many people, the story behind MiaB.

Thank you to everyone for the last 10 years of #Makefest #LivMF25 β₯οΈπ Our final crew pictures be up soon! Till then big thanks to all who made it epic for thousands of children over the 10 years πβ₯οΈ been a honour β₯οΈπ
I forgot to mention, if you're from over the water, you are permitted to attend this. Not a joke. They just let you in! You don't even need to show your passport π
from Sir Thomas Street you take the 423, 471, 464, 472 and in a few minutes you will travel through a magical portal (mersey tunnel) and find yourself in a LAND OF MYSTERY AND WONDER (Birkenhead).
The bus stops bang outside the front of the library on Borough Road. If you're looking for the ramp it's to your right if you face the front of the library.
π§Remember: don't call them plazzies π§
You can get the train but you're going to walking all the way up borough road in the hot sun π₯΅
Wirral MakeFest is fast approaching: Sat 10th May at Central Library, Birkenhead

It's on one site and no heritage buses this year. On the plus side just over the road from the library is The Great Pyramids Shopping Centre, one of the wonders of the world.

Unless there is another #MakeFest somewhere I think that's all of them.
I got to see Halton, Liverpool and Wirral this year.
REALLY SORRY to announce that I've just emailed to cancel my stall at #Makefest this weekend. Ongoing care crisis stuff with father in law in hospital in very serious condition and his partner (long term paralysed from stroke some years ago) needing continued support. And the final straw... my back has just had a major twinge! FFS. Really sorry. X
Anyone else coming to Liverpool #makefest On Saturday We will be there with our kits as usual and loads of the builds by @Extelec
Standard morning... everyone is inflating their giant tissue paper hot air balloons and repairing them right?!?! :) Getting ready for #liverpool #makefest next weekend. Hoping to make another one of these designs also as I'll break at least one! #making
#Wirral #MakeFest is this Saturday at two sites: Birkenhead Central Library; and Williamson Art Gallery.
the organisers haven't said what time it starts π
however the library opens at 9am so even if they haven't set up yet there will be lots of great books to read βΊοΈ
Had a really nice RyΕ«nosuke Akutagawa collection out of here a few years ago π
The highlights last year were riding a vintage bus (no bus this year) and playing the bananas. Who knows what will be on offer this year.π π€
