Wigan Comic Con returns on Saturday 19th September 2026, taking over Robin Park Leisure Centre for a full day of fandom, cosplay and pop‑culture fun. The event has become one of the borough’s most popular annual gatherings, drawing fans of sci‑fi, anime, gaming, comics and retro TV from across the North West.

This year’s Comic Con will once again feature a large traders hall, packed with artwork, collectibles, handmade crafts, figures, retro games and unique items from independent creators. It’s one of the best places locally to pick up rare finds or support small artists.

The guest lineup is still being announced, but previous years have welcomed actors and personalities from Doctor Who, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and classic British TV. Visitors can expect autograph sessions, photo ops and plenty of chances to meet familiar faces.

Cosplay remains a huge part of the event, with fans of all ages dressing up and taking part in the cosplay competition. From screen‑accurate armour to fun, creative costumes, the atmosphere is colourful, friendly and full of energy.

Families will find plenty to enjoy too, including character meet‑and‑greets, themed activities and gaming areas. Robin Park’s spacious layout and easy parking make it an ideal venue for a busy, lively event like this.

With more announcements on the way, Wigan Comic Con 2026 is already shaping up to be another standout date in the town’s events calendar, a brilliant day out whether you’re a collector, a cosplayer or just curious about the world of fandom.
