Brighton Zinefest was held on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 February 2009. The first day consisted of a vegan breakfast, workshops and a gig at the Cowley Club, a libertarian social centre. The following day was the zine fayre at the West Hill Community Hall. Both days were a roaring success, with lots of people attending. Candy floss was given away for free, people made a communal zine and the days were captured on camera. Hopefully a short film will result.
