Fantastic day out! Could maybe do with a bigger venue, as it's becoming very popular.

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2016

Comic con Leiecester was so much fun and so well organised! There were a lot of amazing stalls and events going on there, and felt really comfortable there, especially in cosplay! Everyone was super friendly and I had a great time. Well done guys!

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2016

Excellent day out. Venue was busy but not too crowded. Wonderful atmosphere with lots of people in fancy dress. Wide range of stalls and everything was priced very reasonably, especially for a convention.

The venue was very warm but it was easy to get in and out so not a problem.

Suggested improvements:
Would have been good to have a bit more food available. The deal with the venue across the road was good but they didn't have the capacity.

Upstairs was uncomfortably warm and difficult to get to some of the stalls.

We had a great day though so I'm nitpicking. Thanks for organising a fantastic event!

Used the app to get the ticket, but hosts wanted the paper tickets, what a waste! Show was ok, it was exactly same as last year and no popular guests. The venue was small and had to drag yourself in a non ventilated venue.

Music in the entrance was a bit too loud at times. Layout, hosting, attractions; everything else was done very well and no complaints about the event

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2015

I was a little nervous as to how this would turn out..being a regular convention goer and cosplayer I have been to many events where the staff were rude and everything was poorly run.....not this time!!
I was pleasantly surprised as to how good Leicester con was! The venue wasn't quite right, but it worked. Everything was laid out well and easy to find, things ran on time and the staff were extremely nice. Not really for those who needed disabled access but hopefully the hint of next year's venue will solve this problem.
There were the right amount of traders and variety of merchandise available, there was something to go to at all times, talks,games competitions, cosplay masquerade, body painting, props etc. Staff were everywhere and ready to help with any problems or to encourage us to enter the competitions.
The price was just right and the staggered entry times meant that the venue didn't feel too full up...sometimes you can go to events where you can't actually go and do anything as there are too many people. I saw many family groups..some cosplaying..which is great!

Overall, I had a relaxing, stress free, push free convention...and with the usual lighter purse from all the POP! figures I bought!

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2015

We had a great time, took my daughters along and they really enjoyed it too. lots of cool stuff to see and an plenty of people in costume. Being a big Battlestar Galactica fan, seeing the actual models used was awesome. excellently organised. looking forward to next years, hopefully be bigger and better.

Review of Comic Con Leicester 2015

Had an absolutely fabulous time, both my boys and myself were blown away with everything that was there. Seeing the comic illustrators at work and being able to actually join in on the games consoles retro and new (my boys and hubby loved that bit.) It was all so friendly and the costumes were all amazing!! I posted pictures and have had sooooo many comments asking where it was, how epic it looked and I was to let them know when the tickets go on sale next year!!! It's safe to say we will DEFINITELY be back next year and most definitely will be joining in with the cosplay!!! 12 months to plan and make!! Well done to all the people involved!!!! My inner geek was a very happy bunny that day!!
