We've hosted Phoenix Fest in Oxford for a number of years, but this year we realised we need more time and resources to properly plan an event of the magnitude that Phoenix Fest needs to be in order to be viable and sustainable.

For 2025 we're partnering with the Lakes International Art Comic Festival to put on an incredible showcase of events, workshops, and some yet to be announced super secret extras! We can't wait to bring the best kids' comic creators to a wonderful celebration of comics creativity!

We won't be hosting Phoenix Fest in Oxford this year, so please don't show up in Oxford - we'll all be in Bowness-on-Windemere!

Phoenix Fest 2025 workshops and events will be running from Saturday 27th September to Sunday the 28th September.

We'll be releasing the full timetable of Phoenix events shortly, so do keep checking back here for the latest information!
