Darkroom facilities are a well-used and much-loved part of EPS, giving members the chance to enjoy traditional black-and-white processing and printing. The space is fully equipped and ideal for anyone interested in film photography.

It includes three enlargers that handle negatives from 35mm up to 4×5 inch, a 16×20 inch cascade print washer, a heated bench for chemical trays and separate film and negative drying cabinets.

If you’d like to learn or teach darkroom techniques, we run regular drop-in sessions for anyone interested in processing or printing. Keep an eye on our Events Calendar for upcoming dates or contact the EPS darkroom team through our Contact Form.

You can read our Darkroom Guidance 2025 (pdf) for full details.

Members with a Darkroom Subscription can book sessions in advance through our Online Booking Service via the EPS Log In link on the page menu.
