Pat Randle writes: "Our yearly Open Day at Whittington lands on Saturday 6th September 2025 when we will be running the Heidelberg and Wharfedale cylinder printing presses and demonstrating the intricacies of casting type on the Monotype machines.

Current Nomad Letterpress projects will be on display, including Paul Kershaw’s book on Skye illustrated with many colour and monochrome wood-engravings, and Peter Allen’s Oiseaux de France with colourful pochoir illustrations made without a printed key. 

 

Joining us for the day will be an array of wood engravers, pochoir illustrators, other printers, booksellers and bookbinders who will be displaying their work on tables surrounding the Press.

 

Also on offer: free car parking, 5-a-side football and BBQ.

 

Whittington is about 4 miles east of Cheltenham and the Press is in the grounds of Whittington Court, behind the church. Details and map, click: HERE
