COME JOIN THE FUN FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND!

In 2019 we're staying at the amazing Cleethorpes Leisure Centre

Who wouldn't want to stay at a venue with a waterslide?

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR KIND SPONSORS BELOW.

WITHOUT THEM THERE WOULDN'T BE A FANTASTICON AND BECAUSE OF THAT,

THEY'RE ALL FANTASTIC!

FantastiCon 2019 is ALREADY being planned! Keep up to date with our plans by following us on Twitter (@FantastiCon2019) and Facebook (FantastiCon2019) and by keeping an eye right here on the official website!

We like to think that we run a different kind of convention to most and we hope that those of you who have attended in the past think we've done just that.

This year's event took over the beautiful Cleethorpes Leisure Centre, where we continued the 'bigger and better' trend with traders, computers, tabletop games, virtual reality, a dedicated NERF and drone racing arena, 3D printer displays, retro gaming, Lasertag arena and of course our stage which featured panels, Q&A sessions, special guests and live musicians.

That, twinned with our famous 'free biscuits and soft drinks for everyone' pledge, ensured that FantastiCon 2018 was the biggest and best yet!

FantastiCon 2019 is already shaping up to be bigger and better than ever before!

Attractions will include, but are by no means limited to;

• The return of Richard Dixon's escape room!
  
• NERF wars! Yes, genuine all weekend NERF wars for all the family to enjoy.
• Meeting and chatting with the vibrant cosplay community.
• Live music with Saraswati, Jemma Johnson, JollyBoat, Mac and the Medic and more!
• The very latest in virtual reality with Oculus Rift , HTC Vive and Playstation VR, all under the watchful eye of our VR demonstrators.
