make, and be inspired.
Wirral MakeFest 2025 will once again transform the library into a
vibrant hub of imagination, with hands-on workshops, eye-opening demos,
and engaging exhibits spanning science, technology, engineering, arts,

sustainability as a central theme, offering something for everyone – from
tech enthusiasts and artists to crafters, scientists, and hobbyists.
