About Us
What is it?
The Dream Machine Workshop is a shared work space, where you can come and work on your own dream machine. Vintage, classic, or modern, car, bike, camper, truck, anything goes! Rented by the hour, we have just about all the aspirational tools, equipment and machinery you could ever need to complete any project - from a simple oil and filter service to a full-blown restoration. All this plus help and advice on hand, to keep you on track. Plus the peace of mind that all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is provided where needed, and public liability insurance cover is in place. Keeping everyone, and everyone's project safe and sound.
We have all sorts of tools for you to use, including hand tools, vehicle ramps, jacks, axle stands, sanders, grinders, cutters, sheet metal bending and folding, lathes, milling machines, rattle guns, measuring tools, welders, plasma cutters, fabrication tables, powder coating, painting, shot blasting and much, much more......

You bring the Dream Machine, and we'll help you make it a reality.
How does it work?
Simple: use the 'Book Here' button to select a time when you'd like to use the workshop. Pay online, and once you've completed an intro assessment/workshop tour you're ready to go.
There are 3 tiers of workshop time to choose from. These vary by complexity of the tools and machinery, and are priced accordingly.
The more complex the machinery, the more it costs, and the more important it is that your skills are aligned. This is where the intro assessment and workshop tour come into play, as they will assure us both that you are able to safely use the equipment.
The tour includes a chat and look round the workshop, and you can book it any time, right up to the start of your workshop time.
Opening times are Thursdays 16:00 - 19:00, Fri, Sat, Sun 08:00 - 22:00
We also run 'Build It' workshops and Skills Classes
At The Dream Machine Workshop, we also believe that just because you can't do something now, it doesn't mean you can't learn to do it in the future. We run a variety of classes to help build your skills to a higher standard. Whether that's with the lathe, milling machine or fabrication tools, we have classes for beginners, improvers, and sessions to practice something with a guiding hand. Or why not try out one of our dedicated Build It workshops, and create something wicked to take home?

It was great, you were really helpful, having the right tool to diagnose the issue was really useful.

Really enjoyed the welding course, plenty of information and hands on training. Felt really comfortable despite having never done it before. Loads of time and bits of scrap to practice on too. All in all, great course, great tuition and well worth the money, could have stayed all day.
