Colourful and crowded Comic Con comes to the Pavilion

Hundreds of fans from across the country packed into the Pavilion as Wales Comic Con made its Llangollen debut today (Saturday).

The popular event has traditionally been held annually at Wrexham University.

But, this year, the comic con team found a new location in the International Pavilion, which is now run by the Eisteddfod team.

For the event, which also runs tomorrow, a host of top guests have been lined up, including Jennifer Beals (The L Word/Flashdance), Mark Addy (Game of Thrones/Dune), TJ Thyne (Bones) and Katie Leung (Harry Potter series).

The fan convention, which organisers see as an exciting new chapter in the event’s history, is expected to attract up to 10,000 fans across the weekend, offering a packed schedule of celebrity signings, panels, cosplay competitions, gaming zones, traders and more. 

Fans entered into the spirit of the event with some fine examples of cosplay.
