Exhibition Halls

Running its 20th edition this year, Thought Bubble Festival is an annual week-long celebration of comics, with events spread across the whole of Yorkshire! It ends in a HUGE two day comic convention in Harrogate.

Thought Bubble is dedicated to comic artists, writers, and their fans! We use our festival week to promote the power of comics. We believe they can inspire, educate and bring people together like no other medium, so whether you're a long-time fan of comic art or have never picked up a graphic novel before, you’ll find something for you.

With 600+ comic-creating exhibitors showcasing their work for you to browse and buy, alongside special guests from across the world! The weekend also includes a full programme of talks, exhibitions, workshops and signings. PLUS a dedicated kids’ zone with free activities, workshops, with family friendly exhibitors to shop!
