Friends of Photography
Love taking photos? So do we! Whether you’re snapping pics on your phone, working with a DSLR, or just starting out with photography, you’re warmly invited to join our monthly Friends of Photography meet-up.
This is a relaxed and welcoming space for anyone aged 18+ who enjoys photography in any form, from mobile shots to pro-level gear, whether you’re a hobbyist, amateur, or somewhere in between.
Come along to share your photos, pick up new tips, have a chat, and connect with others who love capturing the world through a lens. It’s all about learning from each other, having fun, and celebrating creativity.
The sessions are hosted by local photographer Paul Abraham, and there’s even a chance to take part in a group exhibition at The Mill Gallery next year!
No pressure, no pretension, just good vibes and great photos. Hope to see you there!

This talk runs on a Pay As You Feel basis, with a suggested donation of £3–£10, but please feel free to contribute whatever you can. We never want cost to be a barrier to creativity and learning, so pay what feels right for you.
To help guide you, here are our suggested tiers:
£3 – For those on a low income or tighter budgets
£6 – The standard rate to help cover running costs
£10+ – For supporters who can contribute a little extra to help keep events accessible
No questions asked — everyone is welcome.
