"February at Makespace Oxfordshire" banner

We’ve passed imbolc, winter is moving towards spring, and snowdrops are carpeting the ground. It must be February already! 

The Makespace team is busy planning events for you, and we’ve got some to announce already. We’ve also got available spaces and news about wider community events. Why not jump right in?

The Common Pot

We truly believe that gathering, sharing knowledge and information, is where the magic happens. A chat over lunch could turn into an idea that transforms a neighbourhood. That’s why we set up The Common Pot for our Central Oxford hubs. Once a month, we get together, prepare a wholesome soup, and put the world to rights. We’re hoping to expand this out to the wider community. Watch this space. 

Move into The Old Stables

Due to a resident moving on who currently occupies multiple spaces, we have three rooms available in our Wantage hub, The Old Stables. The rooms range from 5-15 square meters, with two fully private and one to be shared with a member of the Makespace team once a fortnight. Coworking desks are also available. 

Be part of a hub with a gorgeous community cafe and a spacious garden, with inspiring neighbourhood events happening and other likeminded folks to work alongside. 

We’ll be arranging some open days for prospective residents. Fill in this form to express your interest and someone will be in touch. 

Not in Wantage? We also have coworking and event spaces in Oxford and in other locations across Oxfordshire.

Rooms in our Oxford hubs always get snapped up fast, but we’ll soon be unlocking more space at 9 Park End Street to support locally rooted individuals and organisations working on areas that create a social, environmental and/or cultural benefit to local and global communities.

Express your interest via this form and someone will be in touch about open days happening on March 3rd and 11th.

Glimpses of a Possible Future

Over the past month, we’ve been having inspiring conversations with people making a difference to their communities in Oxfordshire. This will form the second season of our Glimpses of a Possible Future podcast, in which we explore people-powered place-shaping across Oxfordshire and how this links to spatial justice. Keep an eye on our social media channels for more details on the upcoming release.
