Marvellous Mural Men

Winchester Print Fair is an annual event running in May. We support predominantly local artists (within Hampshire), joined by well-known printmakers from across the UK. We are looking to raise the profile of handmade creative arts and crafts, with all printmakers producing their prints by hand in their own studios or shared spaces. We also welcome suppliers and supporters of print to encourage those just starting their journey in print. We are now a two day event, with 25 stalls in the Nutshell in Kings Walk, Winchester.  

A new National Lottery Heritage Fund project, that will explore, research, and co-create a more contemporary and representative narrative of Portsmouth’s (and surrounding areas) LGBTQ+ heritage. Led by Y Services, in partnership with Portsmouth City Archives and Hampshire Cultural Trust, the project will: • Train young people and volunteers in heritage research skills • Record oral histories • Document the history and growth of Portsmouth Pride • Deliver exhibitions, events, and community learning We believe this project offers an exciting opportunity for local organisations, community centres, groups, and local residents to get involved.
