We are now in our fourth year of being on the Derwent Site with the Pencil Factory. If this is your first time a Convention this will hopefully give you an idea of what to expect. If this is 50th time, read on as there may be some changes for 2024.
All Convention programme items take place on the Derwent Site (Pencil Factory, Carding Mill Lane, Keswick CA12 5NG)
