GeekCon at the Mander Centre 2026
GeekCon returns for its 6th year! The mini comic con style event is held across the lower mall in the Mander Centre on the 21st and 22nd November. FREE to attend and enjoy with donations being taken for The Way Youth Charity.
Join a host of geeky traders selling everything from retro and vintage toys to Lego figures, Funko Pops, clothing, artwork and more! Pick up a classic item, bring back some childhood memories or add to your already growing geeky collection!
Grab a selfie or two with Buzz Lightyear and say howdy to Woody from Toy Story, Chase that wile e coyote, all supplied by the team at Back to the 80’s prop hire.
Dress us, geek out and meet a friendly walking Dinosaur and some mascot friends!
Spot your favourite characters with Cosplayers from the UK Garrison, East Midlands Garrison and Central Legion, from stormtroopers to Ghostbusters you just don’t know who you might meet and props and set drops to discover too!
With free face painting (donations welcome) from Cheeky Gorgeous events on Saturday (10-3pm) and balloon modelling (12-2pm) you can look like your favourite hero in no time! There’s something for everyone across the two fun packed days at GeekCon.
Why travel to a Galaxy far far away when it’s all right here in the Mander Centre!
