Book here for general sale tickets!
Cambridge Comic Jam is a completely FREE festival and you do not need a ticket to attend – just turn up on the day.
Our four Comic Jam workshops are also free, but must be booked in advance because places are limited.
You may see a “Get Tickets” button on this page. This is an Eventbrite feature and you do not need to use it to attend the festival. We are using this page to accept optional donations to help us keep Cambridge Comic Jam free and cover the costs of artists, activities and materials.
