Comics and Cosplay Extravaganza!

ComicsPlus_logo_notag

What: A celebration of fun and fantasy, creativity and imagination, telling stories and playing games. 

A day for dressing up, playing games, making stories and having fun! 

To celebrate the launch of our new digital comic resource Comics Plus, we are dedicating a day to all things pop culture. You will be able to draw with artists from Squishface Studios, show off your cosplay creativity, get a photo with a Dalek, a Stormtrooper, or with your friends in our photobooth. There will be craft, games, things to make and do, plus art and jewellery for sale. Drop back to the Middle Ages, or take off to space. Find out more about making your own costumes, or join a game of Mario Kart or Dungeons and Dragons. Continuous craft in the library for younger fans.
