4lyf is a local small business selling reusable 35mm film cameras and film. Francesca started the brand to make film photography more accessible and to encourage people to capture memories in a different way. What began as a simple idea has grown into a business with customers across the UK, supported by social media, collaborations and a growing community of film lovers.

Following the success of our Bitesize Enterprise sessions, five small local businesses have been selected to test trade at the festival in the Enterprise Development Zone, with each receiving guidance, preparation support and access to funding to help with the challenges they are facing as traders.

As part of the Enterprise Development Programme, in partnership with Anglo American and Festival of Thrift, we are providing a supportive, real world environment where businesses can build confidence, gain valuable experience and engage with new audiences.
