Cymera Festival is the only sci-fi, horror and fantasy writing festival in the UK. Our ethos is to provide an inclusive, accessible and diverse programme that captures selected genre fiction at its best. With workshops, events, agent one-to-ones and more, Cymera Festival provides a weekend packed with creativity to the Edinburgh community and beyond.
DONATIONS
CYMERA is entirely run by volunteers, and as with any festival, there are some things we just need cold hard cash for.
Your donation, however big or small, will help us:
Pay a fee to every panellist appearing at the festival
Bring speakers from all around the UK to Edinburgh
Host our free social events where everyone is welcome
Give free tickets to our talks to those who can’t afford them
Feed and clothe our fantastic festival volunteers
PAY IT FORWARD
At Cymera, our 'Pay it Forward' scheme helps us ensure that everyone who shares a love of sci-fi, horror and fantasy writing can attend our annual festival held in Edinburgh every June. With your donation, we can share the Cymera experience with those who would not normally be able to attend. We know times are hard for a lot of people right now, but please consider making a donation if you can.
