Events

Scunthorpe Zine Fest, to our knowledge, is the first Zine event put on in the town and will returns this year for it’s third year! Coke-Oven is a proud sponsor of Zine events but with Scunthorpe being the origin of our namesake it seemed apt that we would play a part in founding and funding a Zine shindig in the town. We hope to bring out the creative and counterculture of the area and hopefully draw in other makers from across the country!

Our aim with the event is to give people the space, the opportunity and agency to create and express their voice.

We believe Zines are a great way to do that.

2025 will be the second year of the event which we are hoping to continue annually, so we are looking for any and all to get involved. Scunthorpe Zine Fest 2025 will take place on August 30th 2025 in Cafe Indie on Scunthorpe High Street. Where there will be people tabling to show off their Zines from the majority of the day!

So, whether you’ve been debating making one, have never heard of them or are an avid Zine maker/collector we hope you’ll pop along and support the first show. More info of who will be tabling and details of the day will be available later in the year and through our Instagram!
