The event will take place at STEAM Museum on Saturday 20th June. It is organised by Stars of Time and promises a full day of celebrity appearances, props and interactive attractions.
Among those confirmed to attend is Warwick Davis, known for his roles in Star Wars and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
He will be joined by Brian Blessed, recognised for his performance in Flash Gordon and appearances within the Star Wars universe.
Fans of British animation can also meet Ben Whitehead, the current voice of Wallace in Wallace & Gromit.
Organisers say the event is about more than celebrity guests. Visitors are encouraged to attend in costume, with a free cosplay competition planned during the day.
Characters from superhero films, sci-fi franchises, anime and video games are all expected to feature. Costume displays have become a central part of the convention atmosphere.
The programme also includes lightsaber training sessions, a tribute to Kermit the Frog and a range of interactive experiences.
Independent traders will be selling memorabilia, collectibles and artwork throughout the venue.
Frances Yeo, manager at STEAM Museum, said:
“We’re really excited to welcome the Stars of Time team back to STEAM for what is set to be another excellent Comic Con.
“There’s always an amazing atmosphere around the place when this event rolls around and it’s great to see everyone so happy and enjoying what they love.
“There’ll be some great guests and some fantastic displays so there really will be something for every fan.”
