Join Glasgow Zine fest at their new festival home, Tramway and The Hidden Gardens, for a weekend celebrating zines, climate justice, activism, land resistance, and radical creativity.
Glasgow Zine Fest 2025 features hands-on workshops—from soil paint making to risoprinting—plus critical conversations on land, disability justice, and climate reparations alongside free drop-in activities. Explore our bustling Zine Fair and browse over 3500 titles from our collection of DIY publications, including a special collection of Palestinian zines. Whether you’re here to make, reflect, or connect, come along and imagine new worlds through self-publishing and collective care. All ages welcome.
- Pay-What-You-Can workshops in composting, earth ink making, nature field recording, riso printing, people’s food policy, decolonising economics, and writing climate utopias.
- Panel discussions with experts, academics and activists engaged with Scottish land reform and resistance, and climate justice reparations.
- Family friendly drop-ins: connecting with nature through zine making, clay sculpting, and eco Tetra Pak printing.
- DIY publications, merch, badges and other creations from over 70 makers in our busy zine fair.
