You’ll find us at:
Leeds Hackspace
Mabgate Green
Leeds
LS9 7DS
Whatever you do, don’t use that postcode in your satnav – it appears that royal mail have completely the wrong position for the address. Feed LS9 7DT to your satnav and you’ll get much closer.
We’re just 4 mins walk from Leeds bus station. Leave the bus station by the high numbered stops and cross the road to in front of the West Yorkshire Playhouse, then turn left and follow the footpath under the bridge onto Mabgate and take the first left (Bell St) then the first right (Mabgate Green). Walk past the large red doors on the end of the building, and go through the single red door on your right. You’ll find us on the right at the top of the stairs.
Parking
There’s bicycle parking in the space (take it left as you come up the stairs). For you own safety, please chain it to something solid (there’s plenty of pillars/railings).
There’s free parking on the street after 6pm all nights and it’s free all day Sunday. For other times there’s on street parking at only $1/hour.

hello I am an architect student at leeds your space seems to have a laser cutter which I really am in need of at the moment to build my architectural model. Would I be able to come and use this at a charge? how much would it cost me if so. Please get back in touch
If you come along to one of our open hack nights (every Tuesday from 7pm) then there’ll be a qualified hackspace member around who can advise on materials and cut the model for you.
Conveniently placed for Maplin, I see :-)
Yes, very convenient for that last component that’s holding up a project (assuming Maplin actually have some stock of what you need!)
Do you guys have any locks there for picking? (not including your front door)
i want to head over tonight but ive left all my picks at practice locks at home. so i will have to bring some of the old spares from work. but not really any locks as i have them all at home.
Yup, we’ve got some padlocks and pin tumblers for practice purposes.
Hi, could you tell me if you have any parking nearby, can’t see from the photo, will have to try check out one night this week.
Would love to come down and check out your space, sounds brilliant, will bne next Tuesday if that’s ok?
Would love to get an insight into software programming and to learn to programme microcontrollers. Actually made my own project I need a little help with from some good Hackspacers!!
Cheers
Steve
There’re a few spaces just off the road at the end of the building, but I’m pretty sure that by 7pm the on street parking around Mabgate is free (even during the day it’s fairly inexpensive).
I just found your site to day. Do you still meet at 7pm on Tuesdays when the temperature is below 10C? if I call in this Tuesday evening will any one be their?
Yes, we’ll be there this evening. We don’t let things like the temperature put us off! (The place soon warms up with a few people in there and the heater on).
hi
was just wondering whither you guys had a 3D scanner and/or a 3D printer? if not is there anywhere in leeds which i would have access to either?
cheers
hi Richard.
We’ve got 99% of a working 3D printer at the moment -we’re having some calibration issues which just need a little more TLC.
No 3D scanner yet… though it would be useful. I believe we have a Microsoft Kinect floating around if you want to try building one :)
Is the workshop wheelchair accessible – is there a lift ?
Hi John,
No. In short.
There are stairs up to the Hackspace workshop and currently there are no aids or assistances. So that is the scenario that everyone has in which to work with in accessing the ‘space’.
I understand it that the Directors have acknowledged this is excluding a number of people from accessing the workshop.
Basically there’s little that can be done about it at present unfortunately, sorry if that’s an inconvenience.
