Sheffield Hackspace has moved to a larger space within the same Portland Works building!
Members should find out more information via the move wiki page or via Discord.
Prospective new members should read the FAQ on the wiki .
While you can also come down to the space to have a look, let’s have a digital explore! These pictures are from the 31st July 2025 (the first open day in the new space) — so it’s tidier in reality than in the pics… we promise!

Bonus The End
Room A #
With long-term plans for metalwork, room A is currently the first entrance and storage.

Room B1 #
Room B1 will eventually become the “craft room”, for sewing, vinyl cutting, leatherworking. It has room for future prospects like printing, other crafts, and perhaps larger machines like a more industrial sewing machine, interlocker, or embroidery machine. Currently – like room A – it’s used a lot for storage.

Room B2 #
