With most of the musical line-up focused on Saturday, Sunday sees the bulk of craft and film activity happening in the Stokes Croft area with screenings of Dreams of Life, workshops for safeguarding and understanding modern feminist issues, classes on creative writing and exhibitions by many of the performing artists.
