Zinezilla Arts Fair
Featuring Animinspo Animation Festival
Saturday 12th September 2026, 11:30am – 6:30pm
Trinity Centre, Bristol
Zinezilla is BACK with a vengeance, returning to the Bristol’s Trinity Centre following last year’s buzzing celebration of everything creative the South West has to offer!
Downstairs you’ll find a comic, illustration and zine fair bursting at the seams with ziney and zillary goodness from over 50 artists to feed your eyes and souls. Jaunt upstairs for animation screenings and discussions hosted by our wonderful friends at Animinspo (https://www.animinspo.com/), who will once again be awarding the best in independent animation. Rounding out the day there’ll be a variety of workshops, talks and performances to take part in and enjoy.
Keep an eye out for the Zinezilla Comics Anthology that will be making a return, as well as our big kaiju friends Gordon, Kong and Meg who you’ll find dotted around the festival.
Applications to table at the fair and to screen animations will open on March 20th. We welcome a wide variety of creative forms and voices, and encourage new and emerging artists to apply! Anyone using AI need not bother apply.
