Review of Essex Comic Con 2017

Amazing day out. Me and my son left so happy and nice to have something local and awesome like this. Will definitely attend and spread the word in the future.

Review of Essex Comic Con 2017

As this was the first comic con held at the venue, I think they did pretty well, although some of the stalls were unrealated to the stuff you'd usually see at a comic con.
I bought my tickets in advance and £5 was about all I'd be happy to pay at an event of this size, people were having to pay £7 on the door and I felt that was a bit steep.
The cosplayers and the signers were all friendly and happy to be there, good atmosphere and I look forward to next year to see how it grows!

This was an amazing event totally blown away by the attendees and the organisers were friendly and very helpful. I can not wait for the next one.

Nice little event, for a good cause. Would have been nice if those dressed up came out to see everyone instead of hiding in little groups in the tent. Would go again

Great day.
Same visitors that came late in the day where still being charged full price. Would have been nice for them to have a reduced price seeming it was near the end.
Good event. Room for improvment next year. Everone looked as if they enjoyed it.😎

Review of Essex Comic Con 2017

first time i have done a comic con, to meet the "stars" of Harry Potter and get their autographs was both interesting (and expensive!) (£10 a squiggle) there was only one drinks stall, and so that was a huge que. The venue put on burgers/sausages at £3 a pop.. a lot of people who did dress up were fantastic, and stayed in the roll the whole time.. all in all it was a good day, we stayed for just over 2 hours as a zombie freaked my daughter out and we had to leave (he was good at his post!) Apart from buying craft stuff and marvel figures there wasn't much else.. but then what did i expect? I took plenty of photos, and enticed two other families to make their way down to the venue... to be charged £7 on the gate, it was NOT worth £7. there wasnt any music, apart from the snippet when two wrestlers came to perform, the little lads were in awe of these guys! almost as much as Batman and the likes! i think for littlies it was an awesome day.

Review of Essex Comic Con 2017

All round good experience. Needs to add more stalls and marquees for the venue to flourish and grow. Also parking needs extending.

Review of Essex Comic Con 2017

Loved it, looking forward to next year!

Review of Essex Comic Con 2017

I got there for 1.45 and the event ran from 10-4. I found a lot of the events, cosplayers and some sellers were already packing away. But the film actors and cosplayers that were still there were fantastic. I loved it. Will definitely go again.

Review of Essex Comic Con 2017

Had an awesome time. I love going to small cons between all the big ones as you have more time to interact with and talk to people.

Review of Harry Potter Day

Didn't know the venue. Not what I expected, didn't hear any music. Didn't see much Harry potter stuff, was mostly stalls, bird display and bouncy castles. It was cheap, but not really as advertised.
