Crash Records
Established in 1985 Crash Records has been providing the people of Leeds & beyond with their vinyl, CDs, tickets and merchandise fixes throughout those decades.
We are aiming to bring the best bits of the record shop experience to Deer Shed, with a great range of competitively priced curated stock, friendly knowledgeable staff and all round good vibes. We will also be hosting some special signing sessions from some of the artists appearing at the festival too!
So come say hi, have a dig through the racks and maybe meet your favourite Deer Shed performer too.
White Label Clothing
In effort to further reduce waste & combat fast fashion, White Label Clothing will be onsite to screen print the new Deer Shed logo directly onto your t-shirt, hoodie, or tote bag while you wait.
The Brighton (via Leeds!) based company describe themselves as an independent collective dedicated to all things design and printing. If you haven’t got a t-shirt with you, we have a selection of vintage t-shirts and eco totes for you to buy.
Gigs & Posters
Visualising music – Mainly centred around the art of the gig poster and quality print making. Each outing we commission new artwork pairing visual artists with acts from the festivals line up.
Ran by Toucan Tango – design and illustration duo turned shop owners now based in New Brighton on the shores of the Mersey. They have been making colourful screen printed posters for closing in on a decade. They’ll have a range of posters from other artist friends that have previously exhibited in other Gigs & Graphics exhibitions, alongside a especially commissioned Deer Shed poster.

Tell Tails
A Tell Tail is a wearable animal tail for humans. Simple!
They are made of a range of fabrics and are stuffed. They attach on a black elastic waistband and are one size fits all and can be worn with any outfit.
Wearing a Tell Tail is an exercise in silliness. It's about not taking yourself too seriously. It's about self expression and the unadulterated enhancement of fun in the extreme. Once attached it is literally impossible to not get your waggle on. We call this the 'tail effect'.
It's hard to explain the joy that comes from wearing a Tell Tail, you simply have to try it for yourself.
