Getting to Colchester Makerspace

We are very well located in the city centre within Trinity Works, situated just behind the café Patch. Our address is 24 Trinity St, Colchester, Essex CO1 1JN.

Access is through the café during their regular opening hours (Tuesday - Saturday 10am -4pm). Outside of café opening hours you can access the Makerspace via the wooden side gate (found to the far left of the building). Upon arrival simply ring the door bell on the wooden gate marked Colchester Makerspace and someone will let you in.

You can walk to the Makerspace from North Station in around 20 minutes following the Fixing the Link trail to the city centre.
