Carlisle Zine Fest November 2026

Carlisle Zine Fest is an event dedicated to DIY zine culture, where people who create zines gather to sell, trade, and showcase their work! Throughout the afternoon you can browse the zines and artwork being sold, take part in a drop-in spiral zine workshop, swap something at our Tullie swap shop and meet a whole bunch of talented creatives and thinkers. So what’s a zine? A zine is a DIY publication on any subject! They come in dozens of formats, sizes, styles and topics. Zines are usually handmade and self-published. They can be about anything you want: politics, your favourite media (fanzines), art, photography, writing and more! Stall holders announced Saturday 14th November! Apply for a stall by filling out this application form before 12 November. Want a stall at Carlisle Zine Fest?
