Cheshire Print Fair

Cheshire Print Fair returns to Chester Cathedral on Saturday 31 October, taking over the South Transept for the day. It's the region's leading celebration of print, illustration and independent creativity, and this edition brings it close to its tenth fair. The fair gathers a community of artists, designers, illustrators and makers from across Cheshire and the rest of the UK, pairing established names with emerging talent.

On display is a broad range of printmaking and illustration: screenprint, linocut and etching sit alongside risograph, zines, artist books and experimental print. The organisers describe it as a place to see the detail, feel the materials and meet the people behind the work, rather than just seeing it on a screen. If you're into print in any form, there's plenty to look at.

It's not just for browsing, either. There are hands-on print workshops running throughout the day, with a Cyanotype Workshop among them. Rare Vitamin Records will be playing throughout the day, so there's music to go with the prints. Entry is free, though a donation is suggested, and the workshops start from £5 per person. The fair runs from 10:00 to 16:00 in the South Transept of Chester Cathedral.
