Venue

The venue is a two-storey office/workshop unit located in Holbeck toward Elland Road with (limited) parking space and easy access by bus and car. The ground floor is an open plan double garage which is more than big enough to house vehicles, work benches and life-sized robots.

Upstairs we have office space enough for desks, servers, white boards and bean bags, as well as kitchen and WC facilities.
