Thank you to everyone who made it down to our 10th Grrrl Zine Fair! We hope you had an amazing weekend.

Two days celebrating 10 years of Grrrl Zine Fair: 20+ zine maker stalls, food trucks, live bands and DJs, zine-making, screen-printing and risograph workshops, the zine library installation, a welfare space, talks, art installations and an exhibition.

If you came, please tell us about you and share your feedback — it helps us report back to Arts Council England.
