Film & Comic Con is back – don’t miss it!

-

FILM & Comic Con Cardiff is back at the Motorpoint Arena Cardiff on Saturday, March 4, and Sunday, March 5. Continuing to build on the success of the previous Film & Comic Cons in Cardiff it hopes to bring you some more of your favourite stars from TV, film and comics as well as a whole host of fun activities including photo shoots with the stars, panels, autograph sessions, retro video gaming, Cosplay Masquerade and hundreds of stalls full of TV and film memorabili­a to browse.

Pick up collectabl­e movie/TV merchandis­e, outfits and toys, or discover arts and crafts that you will not find on the high street.

Showmaster­s Events is hugely supportive of the Cosplay community, and it’s giving a platform to show off your work with a dedicated area. Whether it’s a fully-customised project you’ve designed yourself or partially store-bought, it’s fully on board with giving customers a way to express their talents with their craft and/or performanc­e as their favourite characters!

Cosplay photo shoots are a fantastic opportunit­y for you to have your photograph taken profession­ally at the event – these images will be uploaded to Cosplay at Showmaster­s Facebook page after the event, so that you can download them for free! For only £5 you can take a physical copy of the image home with you – a great memento!

At each event fans are offered the opportunit­y to be in the spotlight by taking part in the masquerade, showcasing their costume, modelling and performanc­e. There’s a grand prize of £200 cash for the main winner each day, £50 cash for runner up and some great smaller prizes for best group, best performanc­e on stage and best junior Cosplay on both days. Everyone who enters has a chance of winning something!

Please be aware that in order to be in the running for the grand prize, you will need to have created a minimum of 80% of the costume yourself.

Doors open from 9am to 6pm. Standard entry: £8 from 11am. Early entry: £15 from 9am.
