Goblin Market Comics and Zines 2026: A Comics and Zine Fair for Goblins 12 noon to 5.00pm Sunday 18th October 2026 Stanley Arts, 12 South Norwood Hill London SE25 6AB | Free

The free, fantastical Goblin Market Comics and Zines event returns to Stanley Arts in South Norwood Hill, London on Sunday 18th October 2026 – and the organisers have gathered an amazing array of indie creative talent this year.

Just in time for Halloween, the Goblin Market pops up to bring together comics and zines for goblins – and the goblins who make comics – from across the UK.

Goblin Market: Comics and Zines “for goblins and by goblins!” encourages you to be weird and creative together in goblin unity. The free event offers a curious day of comics, zines and creations, featuring loads of your favourite artists, plus drop-in workshops (including a “Collage Zine Workshop” with Maha and “Doodle Your Life” with Natalie Beale), trinket trade, communal table, an animation showcase (running 4.00 to 5.00pm) “and other random weirdery”…

This is a great opportunity to meet a wide variety of comic creators, buy exclusive comics, zines, prints, makery and more. There’s also a communal table for people to drop off their work in the morning and sell throughout the day.

If this craziness sounds right up your alley, then you know where to be on Sunday 18th October!
