CODERS, hackers, web developers, designers anyone with an interest in cool technology are invited to take part in #hacksoton.

Called a hack day because developers and creatives are hacking stuff around, experimenting, improvising, creating and playing, the free event today is open to all.

Visitors to Central Hall in Southampton are encouraged to bring anything – a pet project, a gadget, or simply an idea – and spend a day with likeminded individuals.

The second event of its kind, it takes place between 10am and 8pm.
