Turn The Page Artists Book Fair was a two-day annual event and the only fair of its type in the eastern region.

The fair, held on May 25 and 26, offered a unique platform for artists whose work is book-based.

Turn The Page 2018 featured work by more than 60 individual artists, small and fine presses, independent publishers and artists groups.

It also offered a rare chance to see original artists' books by award-winning artist and novelist Audrey Niffenegger.

Rosie Sherwood is the fair's new creative director. The artist and publisher said: 'The fair has long been one of my favourite events in the UK art book arts scene and having the chance to contribute to the development of the fair is a joy.'

Turn The Page features live music, poetry and artist talks, as well as the fair's first symposium, a more academic event of discussion.
