We're delighted to announce early bird tickets are now on sale for our annual gathering, taking place Friday 29th September – Sunday 1st October 2023 in Bowness-on-Windermere.
They can be booked now through this page on the Festival web site.
Offering a heady mix of comics creators, panels, exhibitions, comedy, cosplay, workshops and events especially tailored for younger comic fans through Little LICAF, the Festival has also announced Charlie Adlard, Gerhard, Gigi Cavenago, Michael Lark, Marek Rubec and Rachael Smith as guests.
They join a line-up that also includes Dave McKean, Lucie Lomová, Festival poster designer Mohamed Salah and “Awkward Yeti” creator Nick Sulek – with a wide range of internationally acclaimed creators still to be announced over the next two months.
We've already revealed full details of exhibitors in our Lakeview Comics Marketplace, which includes a bigger, wider range of comic creators, publishers and other creatives than at any previous Festival.
“We’re thrilled to welcome both new and returning guests to our Festival,” said Festival Director Julie Tait. “Some of our guests have often returned to our event, but we’re delighted to welcome new faces, too, such as Eisner Award-winning creator Gerhard and Gigi Cavenago.
“Both are internationally acclaimed and more than deserve to be in the spotlight among our international line-up of comic creator all-stars.”
The Festival weekend will open with an as-yet-under-wraps comics and comedy night, mixing comic creators with comedians, which proved a hugely popular combination last year.
