Nottingham Hackspace (often shortened to nottinghack) is a non-profit, community owned hackerspace in Nottingham, UK. The hackspace was founded in 2010.[1] and has over 500 paying members[2]
Founding and the Early Years
Nottingham Hackspace was founded in March 2010 after a small group of people organised a show and tell at Ye Olde Salutation Inn. This was attended by 30–40 members of the public.
Initially, Nottingham Hackspace was based in The Art Organisation (based in the Old Police Station on Station Street) in a small storage room, which was soon expanded into a small workspace. Loss of this lease in early 2011 was picked up by Boing Boing[3], leading to a number of donations allowing the hackspace to move into its current premises.
The hackspace moved into their current premises in May 2011, holding a public open day event to celebrate[4].
Facilities
Nottingham Hackspace is split across two floors and provides equipment for metal work, woodwork, crafts, electronics, bicycle repair, 3D Printing and laser cutting.
