Attending with Children

MCM Comic Con is the perfect way to spend time nerding out as a family. There’s plenty for kids big and small to see all across the show floor and the best part is…kids aged 10 and under go free with an adult ticket holder! Watch as they marvel at cosplayers sporting their favourite character’s attire, join in the fun with a super cool costume of their own, or take part in one of our many kid friendly interactive sessions…they won’t be bored!

PLUS crafting activities, free-to-play console and tabletop gaming, comic activity sheets, a children’s lending library, and so much more running all weekend long…all included in your ticket!

Head over to the Treehouse page to find out more.
