Over the last decade one69A have become something of a Manchester institution (albeit operating from the other side of the river in Salford’s Islington Mill), running their famous screen printing service alongside a far-reaching education programme for people of all ages. If you’ve been going to gigs, exhibitions or any general art happenings in the last few years, it’s very likely that you’ll have one of their tote bags, flyers or t-shirts at the back of a draw somewhere, if not displayed proudly on the fridge.

They’ve now moved into a new ground floor studio space in Islington Mill and are throwing open the doors for a party. Go along and take part in free workshops whilst enjoying a drink provided courtesy of Cloudwater Brew Co, DJ’s and more from the likes of Marc Printers, 7 Spot Pottery and The Engine House Collective.
