Get Nowt x LADs invite you to a chilled Sunday afternoon of electronic music, learning and skill sharing.

Whether you're interested in learning how to produce music, having a go at DJing or simply meeting like-minded people, come along and get involved. There'll be opportunities to try out new skills, connect with others, browse our record sale and hang out in a welcoming, electronic music-focused social space.

PART 3: Open Decks & Locals Record Fair

Browse records from some of the North East's brilliant selectors, with a record fair curated by Shy Bairns.
