Pop down to Eastside Projects this weekend to discover a range of independent artists and small presses selling their zines and publications in a friendly, creative space. There’s a range of free workshops too, including focuses on drawing, collaging and repeat patterns.
The fair is free to attend and open to all; buy something weird and discover something new!
Have some zines to sell? Artists are welcome to bring a handful to the communal table before the event starts. See below for full details.

Picture This
The Kingstanding Odeon was reputed to be the first in the Oscar Deutsch cinema chain to be built in the distinctive Art Deco style that became synonymous with Odeons throughout the country.
Seen here as both the cinema in 1935 (before its demolition in ’59) and the Mecca Bingo Hall in 2002. What memories do you have of this iconic building?
