The two biggest Conventions in Europe

27-29.10.2023 – MCM London Comic Con, United Kingdom

Taking place at the infamous ExCeL in London, MCM London Comic Con takes place twice a year – usually the last weekend in May and October. Since 2002, the convention invites fans of video games, sci-fi and pop culture to celebrate old and new releases. Ticket holders are encouraged to take part in cosplay which has been a key part of the convention with EuroCosplay championships taking place during the October edition of MCM London Comic Con.

23– 27.08.2023 – Gamescom, Cologne, Germany

Since the relocation to Cologne in 2008, the famous video games convention has grown into the largest gaming convention worldwide. With visitors and exhibitors from all around the world, the convention is not only the best place to learn everything about upcoming video games, but it’s also the home of the Cosplay village where fans can show off their latest cosplay creations.

No matter which convention you decide to attend in Europe, it will be an unforgettable experience where you can meet hundreds of like-minded people. You might even get the chance to take a photo with your favourite comic hero!

Commenting on the upcoming Comic Conventions, Al Murray, Chief Marketing Officer at loveholidays says: “The comic and video game industry is becoming increasingly popular, with hundreds of thousands of fans gathering at Europe’s top conventions each year.
