Join us for the first MPF exhibition party of 2024 to launch our next show, ONE YEAR! Photographs from the miners’ strike 1984 / 85. Complimentary drinks will be available from our friends and local Bristol brewery Lost and Grounded and many photographers with work in the show will be there on the evening.

ONE YEAR! The Strike goes to Whitehall poster and SAVE OUR PITS, SUPPORT THE MINERS’ STRIKE poster, photos by G.M. Cookson & John Harris. From the MPF collection.

Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the miners’ strike this exhibition explores the vital role photographs played during the year-long struggle against pit closures, including many materials drawn from the Martin Parr Foundation collection. See the full exhibition details here.
