After months of creating, exploring and sharing, Beyond the Margins is proud to present Stories That Stay – our end of programme showcase, celebrating the creativity, voices and journeys of the young people who have taken part in this year’s programme. Organised by Inspire Hub.

Join us at The Old Print Works for a welcoming afternoon of art, storytelling and community as our exhibiting artists share work that holds personal meaning to them. From culturally significant traditions and heritage, to identity, belonging, memory, resistance and self-expression, every piece tells a story worth hearing.

Whether you’re passionate about the arts or simply curious, we’d love for you to come along, explore the exhibition and celebrate these powerful young voices.

Here’s what you can enjoy:

Explore our storytelling exhibition
Try our Poetry Prescription activity and take home a little healing
Contribute to a collaborative community artwork
Take home a Polaroid memory
Arts & crafts table for children
Free refreshments from 11am

You can also take part in a free zine making workshop with illustrator Layla Sadiq (1.30-3pm). More information here.

Bring your friends, bring your family, or come on your own—everyone is welcome. Come and discover the stories that stay with us long after we leave.
