People travelled from across the country to meet their favourite stars, with some travelling from as far as Scotland. 

Local families embraced the fact they could meet their favourite stars, with fans as young as three-years-old getting to experience their first Comic Con. 

Keen fans even dressed up as their favourite characters, with people taking inspiration from Star Wars, Doctor Who, Marvel and even Zelda. 

At the event, fans were able to meet their favourite stars by purchasing autographs and even having their photo taken with them. 

Guests could ask the stars questions during panelled Q&A sessions, and one visitor convinced David Tennant to star in her BeReal much to the delight of the audience.
