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 the same.

Last year we 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, console gaming, Lasertag arena and of course our stage which featured panels, Q&A sessions, special guests and live music.

All that, twinned with our famous 'free and unlimited 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.
• A dedicated Drone Racing Arena!
• Live on stage RPG sessions with Simon Burley.
• Meeting and chatting with the vibrant cosplay community.
• Live music! Artists to be confirmed.
