The popular event is back this weekend – Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29 – in the Howgate Shopping Centre and on Falkirk’s High Street.

Organised by BGCP in conjunction with Falkirk Delivers, the two day event promises to be a great day out for the whole family with plenty to keep everyone entertained.

Following the success of last year’s Comic Con event, all the fun is returning.

There will be a wide range of amazing vendors offering visitors the chance to discover a treasure trove of merchandise, collectable, comics and more.

There’s also a chance to meet and greet some iconic characters from gaming, film and comics including Sonic, Spider-Man, Mario, Stitch and Deadpool.

Another highlight will be the BGCP Gaming Zone, featuring an array of arcade machines and gaming consoles including Xbox and PlayStation setups. Keen gamers can find this located at the Falkirk Delivers office on the High Street below the Steeple.

A spokesperson for the organisers said: “Whether you’re a die-hard collector, casual fan or just looking for a fun day out with the family – there’s something for everyone.”
