We are kicking off the last quarter of 2026 with a special zine-making and poetry workshop led by local multi-award winning poet, performer, event organiser and workshop facilitator Manganaro.

In this hands-on workshop we’ll explore the radical intersections that unite zines and writing, taking a moment to reflect on their impact within feminist and q***r movements, as well as the vital role zines play in getting these works (and others) published. We’ll spend our time doing writing exercises, then utilising traditional techniques, collaging with ephemera, and leaving having produced your own zine or poetry postcard.

All materials are provided. This workshop is suitable for all abilities and skill levels.

Spaces are limited, so reserve yours now at bit.ly/zinespoetry. Tickets are £8 for General Admissions or £5 Concessions. Pay on entry (cash or card). Proceeds go towards funding free Page One classes and workshops in 2027.
