Review of Comic Con Leicester 2017

brilliant, I've waited years for comic con to come to Leicester, and after by chance reading about it about 3am something in the morning in the Leicester mercury online, I bought 3 tick*ts.
comic con was more than brilliant I didn't know what to expect but it was amazing, with retro games playing and stalls selling all kinds of merchandise. very friendly staff. and then it had cosplay even better.
I took pictures, video's and had a magic time.
my kids enjoyed it and so did I. I cant wait for next year
thank you very much to everyone who organised and set up comic con to come to Leicester.

Very well organised, with friendly, proactive staff. Queue times kept to a minimum despite extra bag checks etc. Great range of stalls and entertainment, stunning venue and reasonable tick*t prices. Will definitely be back, well worth the trip from Derby.

Awesome

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2017

My first Comic con, I really enjoyed it, the people were really friendly, the atmosphere was good, and the set up was good. If I was to be really critical I'd say it was just slightly to small in my opinion, I had looked at everything in about 1 hour, 1 hour and 1/2. Also it was a little pricey, not the tick*ts the merchandise. But these are my only two downsides, I still spent a fair bit!

A great day out for everyone

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2017

My 12 year old son and his friend loved it. I was disappointed that there was a lack of current superhero merchandise from the newer raft of films - in particular Wonder Woman. My husband was disappointed in the small amount of Dr Who stuff.
All that being said we all enjoyed ourselves.

Yet again we had an amazing day. My 2 grandsons aged 4 and 7 loved every minute of the it. Security was,understandable, tighter this year but we all had fair warning, and they still managed to get us in as quickly as possible. everyone there was friendly, helpful and happy and the variety of photo opportunities with the displays and guest appearances was plentiful. All in all a successful day out and good value for money too. Thank you everyone and we are booking for next year as soon as they orgainse it. Roll on 2018

This was the first Comic Con I have been too, with my son doing his comic stand fresh from Uni it was a great day, I loved it and have never even thought of Comic Con, but next year were all going to come and dress up so fun. Everyone is friendly and looked like they were having a great time.
Thank you

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2017

Great day out, walking in to the music from Jurassic Park, something for everyone, plenty of activities, great artistic works, and great costumes in the Cos Play competitions. People of all ages there, and of all interests weather it from big Hollywood blockbusters like Star Wars, or to more specialised interests like Anime. Plenty of great things to buy but watch your budget. Will be there next year!
