The cosplay arena will host events across all levels – from a beginner’s bite-sized chunk to a masterful meal of this sub-culture. In addition to the category tournaments, there will also be a masquerade for those who don’t want to compete.
In partnership with the Rush, e-sports event there will also be a Fortnite-inspired category. This is the chance to dress to impress as you channel one of your favourite Fortnite characters. A whole range of other fantastic activities will send you into a spin, including Sumo Wrestling, a Dance Dance Revolution setup, Robowar competitions, a Gladiator Ring and a LARP tournament. Watch epic Japanese animated films Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, an animated science fantasy adventure film, and Pop in Q, an animated dance film.
Die-hard fans of old school cool are in for a serious treat because two cars from two iconic teams from the ‘80s will be on display at the event. The unforgettable king of talking technology - KITT - the real star of the Knight Rider series and the truly awesome Ghostbusters wagon. There will also be a host of food and drinks available.
There will be something for every geek on offer – from merchandise exhibitors to a full-on geek-inspired market; to gaming highlights and tabletop games; to Pokémon GO tournaments, Japanese martial arts and anime movies and a geek quiz.
