Durham Unleashed Comic-Con

One of the biggest geek markets of the North East is back in Durham County on Sunday 10th September 2023!

Highlights will include celebrity guests from film and television; Jimmy Vee is best known for playing a number of Doctor Who monsters and aliens including Bannakaffalatta, as well as being cast as R2-D2 in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and appearing in biopic Elton John’s Rocketman. Alongside Jimmy will be Clem So who has had roles in box office hits such as Guardians Of The Galaxy, Doctor Strange and James Bond Skyfall. Both guests will be available to chat with as well as to obtain signed memorabilia on the day.

There will be an out of this world sci-fi model display, retro gaming, dinosaurs, and with Lina and The Lions, a geeky 80s alternative band from Sheffield on the stage you may even catch Transformers Bumblebee having a quick boogie!

There will also be comic book and animation artists and authors as well as vendor tables of comic books, Funko Pops, toys, collectibles, original art and much, much more!

You can go along to the event dressed as your favourite pop culture character…lots of people do so don’t be surprised to if you see Batman or a Stormtrooper heading towards Rainton Arena! There is also a costume masquerade there will be some fantastic prizes to be won!

Hosting the event will be Lindsey Jordan of Unleashed Events “Durham Comic-Con is back and it’s a fantastic place for the geeks of Durham to come together and show their love of all things geeky! It is one of those places where you can acquire that geeky item to add to your collection or simply just come along with a camera and enjoy the day. I am excited about bringing Jimmy Vee and Clem So to the event as this is a great opportunity for budding North East actors to meet them, get acting tips and how best to navigate the industry. Durham Comic-Con is a great day out for families or for those who simply just want to come along and see what it’s all about!”
