Sink your fangs into all things zine at the 2025 Coin-Operated Press HalloZINE fair!

What's a zine? A zine is like a wee DIY magazine that you make yourself, and give away, swap, or sell for the cost of printing. Zines are perfect for sharing information, art, writing, and anything you can fit on a piece of paper.

Browse and buy zines by a whole bunch of awesome zine-makers in our zine market, or trade your zines at our zine swap table.

Have a go at making your own zines on our crafting table - which will be full of suitably ghoulish collage materials to get you into the Halloween spirit.

Embark on an epic zine quest and win prizes!

Halloween costumes are highly encouraged!
