▶️ Saturday 26th July 2025

✨ Venue announcement coming tomorrow night (Tuesday)

🩷 We hit an unexpected snag with JournalFest this year and, unfortunately, haven’t been able to secure a date at that aligns with the availability of our suppliers and staff. As you can imagine, Manchester Central is in high demand, often booked out years ahead, and with the city being so busy in 2025, finding a suitable date has proven challenging for everyone involved.

🚗 This means that we had to go back to the drawing board and for 2025 the 'Fests are going on a road trip......

✨ Manchester Central is an amazing venue and we have loved working with the team for the past two years. We are sure that we will be back there in the future. We want to thank the venue for all of the support they have given to PlannerFest, JournalFest and StationeryFest.

Until we meet again....
