Comic Con North East returns to the Utilita Arena in Newcastle on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd November, and joining the event will an actress who is known in all corners of genre fandom and in these parts as the actress behind the savage twi’lek Xi-an in The Mandalorian season 1, Natalia Tena. She joins fellow GFFA stars Mark Boone Jr and Adrian Rawlins at the show.
COMIC CON NORTH EAST is part of the Monopoly Events family of pop culture conventions, attracting thousands of fans annually to the Utilita Arena in Newcastle. The main attraction every year is of course the star guests, and we always endeavour to bring you a variety of exciting names from movies, tv, streaming, gaming, anime and sports entertainment. In previous years Comic Con North East has been proud to host the likes of Nick Frost, James Marsters, Mara Wilson and Simon Bird.
We’re all a fan of something, and Comic Con North East is the best place to celebrate all things pop culture. As well as having the chance to meet your heroes, get an item signed or a photo, many guests will also appear live on stage so you’ll get to hear directly about their new projects and previous roles.
Outside of the celebs you can get your picture taken with some of our unique props and set builds; watch the fabulous cosplayers strut their stuff on stage (or join them); test yours skills in our retro and modern gaming areas; or browse through the unique gifts in our trader and artist areas with a large show floor for the perfect shopping experience for everyone in our community.
The shared fandoms and sense of community is central to everything we do. Fans from all over the North East come together every year to share their love of comics, fantasy, sci-fi, gaming, horror and cosplay. To find and bond with like-minded individuals who share their interests.
We’ll continue to grow and evolve this event as a place you can celebrate your community fandoms, discover new ones and most of all have fun!
