Nottingham Central Library
FREE
Make a weekend of it in Nottingham and discover one of the UK's most joyful celebrations of independent creativity. On Saturday 24 October 2026, Notts Zine Fest returns to Nottingham Central Library for its seventh edition, bringing colour, conversation and curious ideas to the heart of the city.
Whether you are a lifelong lover of print, an art-book collector, a comic fan or simply looking for something different to do, NZF is an invitation to browse, make and connect. More than 50 stalls will fill the library with zines, comics, prints, art books and small-press publications from makers across the UK. Expect bold illustration, personal stories, radical perspectives and beautiful objects you will not find on the high street.
The festival is designed to be as welcoming for first-time visitors as it is for dedicated zinesters. Drop into free workshops, watch live illustration and performances, hear readings and talks, meet independent creators and take home something made with care. There will also be exhibitions celebrating grassroots publishing and visual culture, turning a visit to the library into a full day of discovery.
NZF is a brilliant excuse to see Nottingham through a creative lens. Set in the city's striking Central Library, it places you close to Nottingham's shops, cafés, galleries and historic streets, making it easy to build a day out around the festival. Come for the print and stay for the city: meet the people behind the pages, find a new favourite artist and enjoy the kind of unexpected encounter that makes travelling worthwhile.
Free to attend and organised by Dizzy Ink, MOAN Zine and Raw Print with support from It's In Nottingham, Notts Zine Fest offers visitors an authentic, local experience with a national reach.
