AutomataFest brings together the UK's leading automata makers, artists and experts for three days in Hastings. Expect talks and demonstrations, hands-on workshops, displays of makers' work, and automata old and new. It's part festival, part conference, as much about hearing how these pieces are made as it is about seeing them move and meeting the makers.
