Absolutely amazing! Can't wait till next year. Loads of people in costume, tons of stores with great merchandise to buy and friendly people to stand and have a chat with.

1st time to comic con and thr venue.... loved both. Interesting layout but organisers used it very well. Was a little tight for space in areas, and venue hot, but so was the weather outside....
the stalls were great and they were friendly and passionate about their products.....
no queues, no waiting around and very well organised...

Awesome time, only you're gonna need a bigger boat (venue). It was pretty cramped at some points, but otherwise a really cool time.

Considering the line before opening went all the way dowe the side of the building before opening, we got in very quickly! Amazing atmosphere! Went last year and will definitely go to the next one!

very poor in the refreshments area ? THERE WERE WERE NONE ? people on the saturday were fainting , no first aid, etc, no seats to sit down, people of all ages attend these events not just fans, otherwise a very good day, hoping to go to the london one in july now,

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2016

Brilliant event. Of all of the comic cons I've been to, this one is hands down the one with the friendliest and most comfortable atmosphere, largely due to the passionate staff. The venue is very nice but has two small drawbacks. The first is only a minor one, but it is perhaps slightly too small for this ever growing event, leading to very cramped isles. The second, more serious problem is the heat. I understand that it is a packed venue in the middle of the summer but the theater's air conditioning is not sufficient. Perhaps some industrial cooling could be hired for next year to remedy this. All in all however, this would be my #1 recommendation to anyone looking to start visiting comic cons.

Tickets were cheap and atmosphere was great. Drinks were expensive in there but food and drink at partner bar over the road were very reasonable. A great day, same again next year?

First time at Comic Con with our two children. Great to see everyone dressed up, but disappointed that there didn't seem to be any 'official' Comic Con staff dressed up as comic characters / superheroes. Unless the ones we hassled for pics were! It would have been nice as son was looking forward to seeing several characters and didn't. Ghostbusters car was great outside! A shame it was full of market stalls which made it really busy. Venue seemed too small and disappointing as no lift for buggy. Would have been nice to see more activities for younger children as there were a lot at the event.

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2016

Far far too busy, also stalls on the stairs made it hard to move. I think the location was wrong and would have better in a big hall.

Fantastic event, I will be going back next year, make sure you take plenty of money, there are so many awesome stalls with amazing things to buy.
