📚✂️ Interested in learning about zines and how to make your own? Then join the guided workshop at this year's festival!

Zines are a creative way of sharing art, promoting an idea or cause, and helping to educate others on something that is important to you 📣🗣

If you are keen to join the workshop, we encourage you to bring along any old magazines, booklets or cards that can be re-used for new purposes 🎨📝

We are delighted to have Ken and Tina of Tumble Circus, who will unleash their show 'Won’t Be Told'. This will be a fierce burst of acrobatics, absurd juggling, and hysterical comedy, refusing to fade quietly into the night!

Only 4 to go 🥳
