Comic Con at Port Solent: What to Expect From This Huge Free Event
Comic Con returns to Port Solent on Saturday 6th June, and if last year’s event is anything to go by, the whole family will be talking about it for weeks.
Last year, over 15,000 fans descended on The Boardwalk for a day packed with character appearances, workshops, cosplay and market stalls. This year’s lineup is bigger than ever, and it’s completely free to attend.
The Lineup
The headline act is a full Transformers Takeover, with the Autobots and Decepticons descending on Port Solent for what promises to be an epic addition to the day. This year, The Joker Squad, a local charity costuming group are bringing their experience to the large unit above the main entrance alongside Scavenger Props, creating an immersive visual walkthrough experience with costumes and props inspired by a Galaxy Far, Far Away.
Alongside that, you can also look forward to:
- Jurassic Park Zone
- Cosplay costume parade at 12:30pm with prizes for best costumes!
- GCPD Batman Movie Police Car
- Lawn of the Dead Craft Workshop
- Joker Squad
- Scavenger Props
- The Sith Dynasty
- Ghostbusters with Ecto 1
- Celebrity signers Clem So & Nathan Pegler
- Over 25 market stalls packed with collectible toys, trading cards, handcrafted artwork, unique gifts, and so much more
Come in Costume
Comic Con wouldn’t be the same without the cosplay, and this year there’s a Cosplay Competition to make it worth going all out. Come dressed as your favourite character…we can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Join us on Saturday 6th June, 10am–5pm. Entry and parking are free and The Boardwalk’s restaurants and bars will be open throughout the day.
