A POPULAR comic con event which brings scores of people into the city will return for 2024.

The organisers of Worcester Comic Con and Toy Fair has revealed it will return this year on Sunday, February 18 at University Arena, Severn Campus, Hylton Road.

This year there will be a green screen photo booth so fans can appear in pictures of their favourite films and games.

There will also be a famous movie car on display - but organisers are keeping the exact details under wraps.

During the day, people can take part in costume competitions, enjoy retro gaming as well as buy merchandise from stalls.

A spokesperson said: "Comic Con is back in Worcester on Sunday, February 18.

"It’s bigger and better than ever.

"More fantastic dealer stalls with tons of geeky merch, more attractions for you to have fun with all day, more people in costume for photo opportunities.

"We have some amazing new fun things including a green screen photo booth where you can be placed into a movie scene being chased by a T-Rex, or popping up in Mario Land or maybe even joining the Guardians of the Galaxy.

"And which awesome Movie Car will be on display this time? 

"We can't wait to see you there."
