Cloudwater Print and Zine fair

Cloudwater has become a household name amongst beer fans across the country. However, this Manchester based brewery does a lot more than just producing delectable drinks in their tap house. You‘ll regularly find guest street food vendors, live music and one off special events like their print and zine fair. Join them this June for a vibrant Sunday afternoon of artists, zine makers, jollity and juicy IPAs. 

As this is the first time the brewery has hosted a print fair, they opened up the applications to artists, printmakers, illustrators and designers from all artistic and aesthetic backgrounds. Expect to see an array of stalls curated to celebrate the variety, diversity and that particular feel of Northern Creativity. Whether you are someone with passions for lino print, enthusiasm for etching or relish risograph, they’ll be something at the fair waiting to pique your interest. 

In Manchester we are blessed with a thriving creative scene. Fairs like this are where you can find truly one off artworks that make the perfect gift, a unique piece to complete a wall in your home or find an artist whose zine provides you with inspiration to get creative yourself. There’ll be plenty of time to sip away at one of the brewery’s many delicious beers on tap while you peruse the tables. 

On the day there will also be live music and some of Cloudwater’s favourite food vendors to keep you entertained and well fed throughout the day. With any luck, there might also be a return of some summer sunshine, making the print and zine fair the ideal place to be on a late June weekend. 

Check out the Cloudwater website for more one off events live this as well as their regular live music listings. You can sample their beers at their Unit 9 Taproom near Piccadilly or their sister bar Sadlers Cat in the Green Quarter.
