Belfast Zine Fair In partnership with Paperxclips

Grab your scissors and a sheet of A4: Belfast Zine Fair is back for an afternoon of swapping, shopping and making. Explore the stalls, stock up on new zines and support your local makers, or join a zine workshop in The Crescent’s Café area and make your own zine to trade or keep. 

If you are a zine maker interested in trading at the Belfast Zine Fair, apply for a stall at tinyurl.com/zines2025 

To protect the health of Zine stallholders, traders and attendees are asked to wear masks while in the Studio space. Masks will be available from the Belfast Zine Fair volunteers.

What are Zines? A zine is a small, self-published booklet. Zines are generally limited-run and are often handmade and hand-distributed by their creator. Common zine topics include activism, art, how-to and pop culture/fandoms, but they can cover any subject under the sun. They are an offline way for a creator to share their thoughts, creations and interests. 

Paperxclips is an independent, queer-owned and operated bookshop, barbershop, coffee shop and community space in West Belfast. They do their best to make their place a home for the queer community of Northern Ireland, and a place where all can find comfort and community. Click here to find out more.
