TO SEE THE EXHIBITION LOTS

With each ticket purchase you will receive:

A festival t-shirt
A festival bag
A limited edition poster
Festival badges
Festival postcard set
Vivian Maier postcard set

You can buy tickets on the door - CASH ONLY!

Many of the festival's contributing photographers have donated prints so you will have the chance to own the best of the festival. Lively entertainment, refreshments and opportunities for industry mingling and prize-winning will ensure the evening is a night to remember. We may get even luckier than last year and witness Peter Dench losing more than just his shirt!

All proceeds will go towards ensuring the festival will be back in 2013.

The festival consisted of eighteen high quality exhibitions, sixteen of which were FREE to attend. We are a not-for-profit organisation and operate independently of any corporate brand, ensuring a consistently high quality of artistic content. All exhibitions are curated or co-curated in-house by the festival team.

We have accomplished all of this on the smallest of shoestring budgets. Arts funding has become increasingly difficult to obtain in recent times, and the festival does not benefit from grants funding or lucrative sponsorship deals.

EXTENSIVE press coverage and public consensus indicates that we are doing something important and we need your help to continue doing it - please support the festival by buying a fundraising event ticket and joining us for one of the most fun events of the festival.

Auctioneer: Dr Michael Pritchard, Director General of the Royal Photographic Society and former Christie’s photographic specialist and auctioneer
