Personalised Engraved Brick
£100.00incl. VAT
A personalised engraved brick, installed permanently inside the former Bellfield Tavern in Kilmarnock, the new home of Utopia Computers.
Every engraving is checked by our team before it's produced. Your brick is built into the building for you, so there's nothing to deliver.
Utopia Computers is a business, so buying a brick is a purchase rather than a charitable donation.
More than just a building
A place to learn, make, repair and belong.
Our new home is built around Future Utopians, our programme creating opportunities for young people to experience technology, learn practical skills and discover careers they might never have considered.
It's somewhere for the whole community too: to make things, fix things and get together.

The Wall of Utopians
Every brick tells a story. What's yours?
A growing wall of the people and businesses helping build Utopia's next chapter. Tap a lit brick to read its story.
The wall starts here. The first stories are on their way, and yours could be one of them.
Only supporters who've said yes appear here, and we add each one by hand. Nothing is ever published automatically from an order.

A new home, new opportunities and the next generation of Utopians.
Where will my engraved brick be installed?
Inside the former Bellfield Tavern, our new home in Kilmarnock. Bricks are installed indoors, protected from the weather, where visitors will see them for years to come. We'll share exactly where in the building once the installation plan is confirmed.
Can I engrave anything I like?
Almost anything. Every engraving is checked by our team before it's produced, and we won't engrave anything offensive, discriminatory or defamatory, or anything that promotes another business without its permission. If we can't accept a message, we'll get in touch to agree a change before anything is engraved.
How many characters can I include?
The engraving box shows exactly how many lines and characters each brick allows, and counts down as you type. Spaces count as characters. You can use letters, numbers and simple punctuation.
Can I buy a brick as a gift?
Yes. Just enter the name or message you'd like on their brick. The order confirmation comes to you, so the surprise is yours to share.
Can a business buy a brick?
Absolutely. Businesses are very welcome to put their name on the wall. For anything bigger, see the other rewards on this page or email sales@utopiacomputers.co.uk.
When will the bricks be installed?
As the building work progresses. We won't publish a date until we're confident we can keep it, and we'll let you know by email when installation is scheduled.
Will I receive confirmation of my engraving?
Your engraving is saved on your order exactly as you approved it, and it's checked by our team before anything is produced. If anything needs clarifying, we'll contact you first.
What happens if I make a mistake?
Email sales@utopiacomputers.co.uk as soon as you can with your order number and the correct wording. As long as your brick hasn't been engraved yet, we'll put it right.
What will the money support?
Your purchase goes towards transforming the former Bellfield Tavern into Utopia's new home: a place for technology, creativity, education and community, including our Future Utopians programme for young people.
Utopia Computers is a business, so buying a brick is a purchase rather than a charitable donation.
Can I contribute without buying a brick?
Yes. Our Crowdfunder campaign supports the Future Utopians side of the project.
Buildings come and go.Communities leave their mark.
Help us give this Kilmarnock landmark a new chapter, and write your name into its story.
