Start your journey with analogue photography the right way with our introduction to film photography workshop. Located in the heart of Manchester, our community darkroom is the best place to learn the wonder of film and help guide your passion for photography.
This workshop is aimed at those with an old unused camera sitting around that was inherited or thrifted long ago. We’ll provide everything you need to function and film test your vintage camera, while answering any questions you have about film or photography in general.
At the end of the workshop you’ll leave with newfound skills, a film tested camera and all the knowledge you need to make the best possible start in your film photography journey.

Roll of film included
You will receive a roll of film to test your camera, or to try out one of our available film cameras. Developing will take place after the workshop to give you as much time experimenting as possible.
