As well as providing all the good vibes that you’d hope to find at a festival that celebrates DIY culture and creativity, Glasgow Zine Fest is founded around two major components:
Events:
We programme a full weekend of events that are affordable and accessible. We welcome internationally-renowned speakers an workshop leaders to deliver everything from performances to mural-making, to poetry writing, to kids arts and crafts, and much MORE!
Zine Fair
Each year, we hold a massive zine fair that welcomes over 40 zine-makers. For the whole weekend, zine-makers, small presses, artists and more showcase their wares, hang out with each other, and generally have a lovely time!
Glasgow Zine Fest's main event features over 40 makers from the UK and worldwide showcasing their work. Come for the zines, stay for the zines!
