Phoenix Fest 2026: Oxford

About Phoenix Fest 2026: Oxford

If your kids are comic book obsessed, or you’re looking for an exciting way to help them fall in love with reading again, then look no further than Phoenix Fest!, run by The Phoenix comic over the weekend of 25 & 26 April 2026.

In-person tickets sell out faster than Glastonbury, but you can still get involved by booking a digital ticket that includes livestreams with Bunny Vs Monkey superstar, Jamie Smart, and creator of the bestselling Donut Squad series, Neill Cameron, plus access to an exclusive Greatest Hits 750th issue of The Phoenix comic featuring some of their best loved stories from past comics.

This is an unmissable event for children aged 7-13

Please note that the Festival takes place in several venues.

Sheldonian Theatre events: these are the big centre piece shows. Tickets to these grant access to the show but do not include access to the Festival Village.

Festival Village at the Examination Schools: This is where workshops take place. Workshop tickets include access to Phoenix Comic Con.

Signings: Artists will be signing in the Festival Village. As long as you have purchased a Festival Village workshop ticket, you will have access to these.

Jamie Smart and Neill Cameron Signings: They will be signing at The Weston Library. It is free to reserve a spot on the signing queue for Jamie or Neill.

(The Festival Village and Phoenix Comic Con can only be accessed with a workshop ticket.)
