Derby’s first ever Zine Fest will take place on Saturday the 13th of April 2024 12:00pm- 10:30pm, spanning two of the city’s cultural hubs, Déda and QUAD, in partnership with Derbyshire Zine Library and the University of Derby.
Tapping into the incredible breadth of creativity both locally and nationally, FOLD is a new fest that will celebrate and showcase all things zine, bringing zinemakers, comic creators and DIY creatives from across the UK, together in Derby! FOLD will bring a complimentary programme of activities at each venue – including a zine fair and free workshops at Deda, and a focus on comic zines and university students outputs at QUAD, as well as free activities for kids and young people.
The intention for FOLD is to bring together like-minded partnerships across Derby and Derbyshire, with all the organisations involved presenting an annual fest that gives a platform to, and shines a light on, one of the most accessible ways to be creative – zine making!
