The variety this time is a lot wider than previously, with a jewelry dealer, a contact lens dealer (useful for cosplay!), A BJD dealer and a japanese related dealer in addition to the normal dvd dealers, manga dealers and toy dealers. We also aim to bring in a couple of companies to sell food and cosplay!

UK MANGA FESTIVAL CONFIRMED FOR SUNDAY!

The Sunday will see the launch of the first ever UK Manga Festival! The dealers room will switch over to the Manga Small-press, specialist dealers and dealers that you would not normally find. To get the highest quality of artists attending and to help support aspiring artists and build the Manga Community in this country, tables will be free (provided they buy a standard two-day ticket beforehand), with us basing attendance on the quality of the work and that alone!

The Sunday will also see us putting on several manga and cosplay demonstrations, workshops and presentations throughout the day, as well as a majorly expanded artists alley and cosplay workshop.

Anyone can submit their work to the awards, regardless of whether they are attending or not. These awards will present a fantastic chance to showcase your work to an audience and get your name. out there. More details to follow as we announce catergories and how judging will work.
