Saboteur Awards 2022: Winners!

First and foremost, a huge thank you to everyone who helped to make the Saboteur Awards Festival 2022 a roaring success. After a brilliant festival week, it was an absolute delight to be able to celebrate the awards in person, on Saturday, May 14, and it was a joy to see so many join us in Birmingham for the celebrations.
