The Vice Press Open House 2026 is set to return to Sheffield City Centre on September 12th. Hosted at the Trafalgar Warehouse, this independent, not-for-profit event serves as a convention and social gathering dedicated to posters, art prints, design, and illustration. Founded in 2015 by artist Matt Ferguson, the company has grown from creating officially licensed prints to producing premium collectibles, including steelbooks, pin badges, and their own line of VHS releases.
A Gathering for Collectors and Fans
This year, the event will feature a wide array of exhibitors offering movie posters, t-shirts, vinyl, and physical media. Attendees can expect a variety of event-exclusive items available throughout the day. The exhibitor list includes numerous artists and galleries such as Dan Mumford, Sam Gilbey, Jake Kontou Art, and Luke Preece Design and Illustration. The event aims to provide a space for fans to connect with the creators behind their favorite pop culture art.
Screening The Princess Bride
No Vice Press event would be complete without a film screening. On the evening of September 12th, the organization will host a special showing of the cult classic The Princess Bride at The Light Cinema. As an added incentive for fans, all ticket holders attending the screening will receive a free poster designed by Matt Ferguson. This screening highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to celebrating beloved films through unique artistic collaborations.
Event Details and Tickets
For those planning to attend, tickets are currently available for purchase. Early entry tickets for the 10am slot include a free limited edition gift upon arrival. The event continues to serve as a significant hub for the independent art community, showcasing the intersection of traditional illustration and modern pop culture collectibles.
