Whilst dinosaur fans will be thrilled by the addition of a green-screen photo shoot, allowing you to face off against the ‘Jurassic Park’ raptors.
Film & Comic Con Brighton is dedicated to bringing cosplay fans an enjoyable and safe space with plenty of photo opportunities. Here you’ll find a perfect environment to get the latest releases, inspiration for outfits and meet up with fan groups and communities. With a sign-in desk for the competitions and parades, the Cosplay Zone also has costume groups willing to share their skills and experience in producing eye-catching costumes.
An event within an event, the convention’s Comic Zone is a vast wonderland where fans and newcomers can explore the myriad worlds of sequential art. From superheroes to the cutting edge, all aspects of the art form can be found here. Comic collectors will find rare back issues, latest releases, action figures, posters, original art and much more.
