In 2025, we welcomed back almost\u00a02,000 of you\u00a0to meet<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>exhibitors and guests across a full weekend of illustration-based fun and games. Prints, zines, comics, books, ceramics, talks, workshops, screenings &#8211; loads to look at, loads to get stuck into, loads of lovely people doing what they do best.<\/p>\n<p>This year, we\u2019re building on that. Same spirit. More artists. More things to see and do. Another jam-packed weekend celebrating illustration in all its weird, wonderful, scribbly glory &#8211; from first-time exhibitors to familiar faces, from a casual browse to properly getting involved.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a die-hard BIF-er or just fancy a wander, it\u2019s all about illustration, community, and spending a couple of days surrounded by good work and good people.<\/p>\n<p>Come find your new favourite artist.
