Today’s the Day! Our First Ever Comic Con! 🙌

We can’t wait to see you all, browsing incredible vendors, supporting local artists, and showing off some amazing cosplay. Plus, our first cosplay competitions are set to be great! 🔥

We know hosting a February event in Scotland has its challenges—it’s a cold morning, and with our main doors open throughout the day, the hall might get a bit cold too. So be sure to wrap up warm!  🥶

Doors open at 11am, and we don’t want anyone waiting outside too long. Our team will work hard to get everyone inside as quickly as possible 💨

Looking forward to an amazing day—see you all soon!
