Brighton & Hove Comic Con

Brighton & Hove Comic Con is coming to the Brighton Dome on the weekend of 5 and 6 September 2026. Presented by ScreenTear Events & Production, the event spans both the Corn Exchange and the Studio Theatre, focusing on a broad range of pop culture interests including comics, film, television, gaming, anime, and cosplay. It is a setup designed to cater to a wide range of fans, from dedicated collectors to families looking for a day out, with specific activities planned for younger attendees.

The programme is built around a mix of traders and creators, with areas dedicated to merchants, artists, and various collectibles. Beyond the shopping, the organisers have scheduled interactive experiences and family-friendly activities throughout the weekend. One of the confirmed guests for this edition is Chris Bunn, known for his work as one of the original Stormtroopers in Star Wars. The organisers have noted that further announcements regarding additional guests, attractions, and exhibitors are expected as the date approaches.

The event runs from 10:00 to 18:00 on both Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are available as either single-day passes or weekend tickets. For a single day, adult tickets (16+) are £26.00, youth tickets (11-15 years) are £21.00, and child tickets (6-10 years) are £16.00. If you are planning to attend for the full weekend, the prices are £42.50 for adults, £32.50 for youths, and £22.50 for children. Children under 6 can enter for free, though they still require a ticket for entry. When purchasing day tickets, you may see a prompt to select a time for seat reservations; you can ignore this, as the tickets provide general access to the event rather than specific seating. Your ticket allows for entry and re-entry throughout the day until the doors close at 18:00.
