Take to the Stage
See your pop culture heroes come to life! Head to the stage for the Cosplay Showcase on Saturday and Sunday which will showcase the passion and creativity of cosplay.
The show will begin with a just for fun cosplay catwalk, open to cosplayers of all ages with hand made or bought costumes that want to strut their stuff in style, followed our competitive craftsmanship entries showing off their handmade creations of precision needlework and hot glue masterpieces for a chance of a prize. You won’t want to miss the truly impressive stage presentations from these incredible cosplayers!

FAQs
Not at all, you can wear what you like! Join the sea of wigs and helmets or keep it casual in trainers and a hoody. You could even fish out that Captain America t-shirt you own that’s two sizes too small. We’re easy.
We don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun but we do need to keep everyone safe so there are some restrictions on props! Note in particular that metal blades (sharp or blunt), sharp items, working projectile weapons, and wooden or metal bats & paddles are all forbidden.
