Fans of comics and movies are heading to the Benham Sports Centre in Northampton, Northamptonshire, for Northampton Comic Con on Sunday 22 February 2026.
The event is organised by Bolt Events and will include movie cars, gaming areas, and a variety of trade stalls. Visitors can browse and buy items such as vintage comic books, hand-crafted props, toys and collectibles.
Organisers say the show is designed to be a local, more affordable option for families compared with the large, city-based conventions. The event provides a platform for local artists and small businesses to sell merchandise and meet other fans.
The organiser offers a quiet/early-access entry at 9:30 AM (by prior arrangement for those who would benefit from a quieter start), pre-paid ticket entry from 10:00 AM and on-the-day entry from around 10:30 AM. Tickets are sold via Eventbrite and the organiser’s website — advance tickets are recommended as organisers say advance allocations have been selling quickly.
There will be a cosplay stage and competitions for people in costume, plus other family-focused activities. The event is scheduled to close at 4:00 PM. Residents and visitors should allow extra time for travel and expect heavier traffic around the Moulton Park area on the day.
