Run by events company Red Cape Events, this Comic-Con promises to be an event filled with fantasy and fun.

Visitors will have the chance to meet their favourite superhero tributes up close and personal, take selfies with them, and even collect memorabilia.

Replica comic-book favourite vehicles will also be on display throughout the day, including a Lightning McQueen car and a replica Bumblebee model, to name a few.
