The only negative I would say is that the main room was extremely warm and made it uncomfortable for those in cosplay.

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2016

Not bad but venue was to small and not enough food or drinks stalls. Parking very expensive.

I took my 17 and 7 year old boys . They thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Bought some great stuff. Drinks were a bit pricey but that's a small negative. Stall holders and visitors were all friendly and enjoying the atmosphere. Well run with great staff. See you next year 😊

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2016

Overall the event was pretty well organised, had a wonderful atmosphere and something felt reallly lucky to have attended because of the great selection of venders and brilliant guests.
However there are some suggestions I would make for next year-
-t-shirts or other merchandise with the event on should be made available for the public to purchase; I was very jealous of the staff who had t-shirts and was disappointed when they said they weren't available despite their suggestion
-secondly very early in the morning ticket the downstairs was very full and meant it was difficult to move around and even harder to see the stall, I would suggest either staggered entry or funnelling half the crowd upstairs upon entry, or for the first few hours having people have to walk round a certain way downstairs to prevent people fighting the crowd and getting annoying

Like I said, overall it was amazing, meeting the guests was intimate and very cool, the venders cooler and the opportunity to hang out wiith fellow nerds and cosplay locally and cheaply was fanntastic
