LOCAL CREATORS

No sci-fi, fantasy and horror book festival would be complete without a dealer’s hall. We have 20 tables in ours, and we are hoping to fill them with local creators, be they writers, artists, publishers or anything in between. Application for the Creator’s Hall will open in April 2025.

VOLUNTEERS

We couldn’t do this without a team of volunteers! We’ll be “advertising” for festival weekend volunteers in April 2025, so join our mailing list or follow us on Social Media to hear about it.

PRESS

We love talking about our plans, so drop us an email on press@cymerafestival.co.uk . This is also the email for requesting press passes for the festival.

SPONSOR

CYMERA is a unique opportunity to be part of something new and exciting, and reach readers and writers of Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror. There are many ways to support us, and we’re always happy to discuss this further. Please get in touch on support@cymerafestival.co.uk
