Kingsholm Gloucester reviews by real event-goers

Best. Day. EVER!!

This was my fourth comic convention and definitely the biggest and best I've been to. There were four floors of amazing cosplayers, loads of stalls selling toys, clothes and other merch, and even an incredible VR experience. I got to meet fellow cosplayers and we all went up on stage to show our cosplay. I rated the music as a 3 because there wasn't really any music on during the convention, except a few songs played on radios at some stalls. The venue was excellent, granted it was a bit crowded at times but it's to be expected at any convention like this. The tickets were well priced and a bargain for what you get to experience, though if going again I'd recommend bringing at least £50 spending money because the amount of stalls selling different things was insane. I could've easily blown £100 during the day I was there. The atmosphere was great, and I met so many awesome people who inspired me to keep cosplaying and creating new ideas.

All in all, easily the best time I've had at comic con and I couldn't praise it enough.

My 14 year old step daughter loved this and made lots of new friends.

Overcrowded and not well planned out at all.

Review of Gloucester Comic-Con 2017

I think there were too many Traders. A lot were selling the same kind of things. Not enough clothes/jewellery stalls for cosplay or steampunk. The Trader corridor on the 1st floor was poorly thought out with stalls on both sides and no room for people walking through. There was not really anything to do such as interactive events., games ect. More could be made of this. Kingsholme is a wonderful venue which could be used for so much more to make the event terrific

Review of Gloucester Comic-Con 2017

The venue was alot smaller then I thought it would be and was a bit if a pain having to walking up and down to the different levels but other then that and the sudden downpour of rain on Saturday was a brilliant day saw so much and the celebrity guests were very kind humbling people . I had a great time . Definitely going again next year.

Thought there would be more to do

Review of Gloucester Comic-Con 2017

Was a very good event, however inside it was a little cramped with the level of people who attended and the traders who were there were selling items at extortionate prices . Other than that it was really fun

Review of Gloucester Comic-Con 2017

I really enjoyed the con. The guests were fantastic. I would have liked to see more independant illustrators and the venue was a bit cramped on the first two floors.

Great guests for such a small and local convention. Staff super friendly, easy to navigate with maps etc, a lot of variety to shop! Very much worth the entrance price

Review of Gloucester Comic-Con 2017

I’m surprised that they use the Comic-Con brand name, it was truly dreadful and most of the people behind the stalls selling stuff looked like they would have preferred to have been elsewhere. It was like a really bad car boot sale within a dreadful location. The wife and I felt completely let down and a little embarrassed to have gone! The best part was definitely leaving!

Review of Gloucester Comic-Con 2017

Should of beeb kept at gl1 where there was abit more room! Hardly enough room for wheel chair and electric scooter users to turn around in. And not enough room for people to get down between people looking at the stalls. Seemed to be all squished into the smallest places possible! Was a shame if there was more room and a few more stalls selling different things (each stall more or less was selling the same stuff) it would of been better

Fantastic day

Review of Gloucester Comic-Con 2017

Really fun day, cos play competition was unorganised and disappointing.

Review of Gloucester Comic-Con 2017

Had a fantastic day with my boys, would definitely go again. The only fault I would say with the venue was the narrow walkways but then again there aren't many venues in Gloucester big enough to accommodate such an event so I would say the best was made of the space available.

Review of Gloucester Comic-Con 2017

The venue was too narrow to navigate so many people packed together. More spacious and on one level would be better as there wasn't room to stop anywhere to take photos with cosplayers.
