Following the success of the last three events at Sheffield Arena, the event returns for its fourth year on August. 12 and 13 Already announced are guests from Doctor Who, Aliens, Terminator 2, Rogue One, Star Trek and Blakes 7. More guests will be announced over the coming months, say the organisers.

The event will again feature Cosplay, where costumes can be displayed on stage with a chance to win prizes, a comic zone where you can meet comic writers and artistes, comic creation master classes and buy that rare edition, plus an artiste alley where amateur comic and manga artists can chill out, draw and meet other artists.
