Are there any decent hobbyist conventions/expos in the UK?

[KSP]

All the electronics expos I can find on the internet seem very corporate (i.e. National Electronics Week), I'm looking for something where hackers and hobbyists show off there gizmos and widgets, if such a thing exists.

Anyone know of anything like this in the UK?

we seem to be sadly shy of these things in the UK, must be the British reserve

Maker Faire looks pretty interesting. Only problem is from Hertfordshire to Newcastle is a bit of a trek  I will certainly look in to going though, Its this month too!

Dunstable downs boot sale is about the only thing I'd go to and I'm not doing that this year as I'll just buy more projects I'll never get around to finishing

Not the same thing, but close in some respects: http://rsgb.org/main/news/rallies/

I'd have a look for maker space or hackspace open days.

There has been a Maker Faire or two in London. Not sure if they're still going.
