September at the Barracks

Dublin Maker

Dublin Maker is a free to attend, community run event, which will be held on Saturday 31 August and Sunday 1 September in Richmond Barracks from 10 am until 6 pm. This is their second year joining us to bring together a community of makers sharing their ideas, works in progress and to celebrate the maker movement.

Moving this event to Richmond Barracks in 2023 allowed more people to come and experience the wide array of invention and creativity on display. This year's event has been expanded to two days to enable even more people to attend.

There will be a host of makers telling you how they come up with their ideas, showing you their projects and products and getting you involved in creating your own experiments. We will have everything from Robot Wars to the chance to make your own Lego creations alongside some great food and incredible inventions.
