Leeds Comic-Con is set to return to the Royal Armouries next month for a huge pop culture event.
On Sunday 11th June The New Dock Hall at the Royal Armouries will transform into a pop culture with everything from Batman to Disney, from Star Wars to Pokemon turning it into a pop culture event that the whole family will enjoy. Those who purchase advance entry tickets will be able to attend from 10am and take advantage of a quieter time before the general public are admitted from 11am. The family event is run by Unleashed Events who have been hosting comic-con events in Leeds for the past 5 years.
Lindsey Jordan, Stage Host of Unleashed Events said:
“It is amazing how much the events have developed over the last 5 years and it is great to see the people of Leeds coming along to them year after year. We have always aimed to create a great overall comic-con experience that the whole family can enjoy no matter what your age or interests.”
“If you want to join in the fun then come along dressed as your favourite TV, film or comic book character… lot’s of people do! There is even a cosplay masquerade you can enter with some fantastic prizes to be won!”
There will be media artists for fans to meet from movies such as Star Wars, Doctor Who and Tomb Raider, as well as the epic Chris Barrie from the cult TV series Red Dwarf.
