And with a fabulous line-up of celebrity guests, famous stars from popular TV series and hosts of entertainment and cosplay competitions to join in with - this event is not one to miss.

Attendees are encouraged to come dressed up as their favourite cosplay stars, and browse some of the amazing trade stalls which sell everything from replica props, clothing and toys, to original artwork.

There will also be franchised photo opportunities set up for cosplayers to get some snaps at the set displays.

CEO of Monopoly Events, Andy Kleek, said: “The next Comic Con Scotland promises to be something very special indeed for fans.

Diamond pass holders are assigned a separate aisle on all autograph and photo shoot areas, which will be clearly marked.

Diamond passes can be bought via Ticket Quarter.

How to get after party tickets for Comic Con Scotland

The after party will take place in the Atik Club which will feature a cosplay catwalk among other acts.

Comic Con Scotland wrote on the website: “We’ve regularly had a few of our special guest stars attend our after-parties in the past so keep your eyes peeled for some familiar faces in rather more casual surroundings than in the rest of the event!”

Tickets are priced at £10 per person (plus booking fee) and can be purchased on Skiddle or at the venue.

The party starts at 9pm when the event closes for the day and finishes at 2am.
