On 6 and 7 June, from 10am – 4pm, Livingston Designer Outlet will be transformed into an immersive pop-culture paradise for one weekend only.
Visitors will be able to explore over 80 specialist stalls packed with comic books, action figures, custom merchandise, trading cards (TCG), unique artwork, and independent comic sellers.
The weekend will also feature activities such as a free-to-play arcade, allowing visitors to take a trip down memory lane or introduce younger family members to the classics with a selection of retro arcade machines.
There will also be movie prop displays from some of the most iconic films and franchises, as well as giant photo opportunities with inflatable figures and meet and greets with beloved characters, such as Spider Man, Sonic and Hedgehog, all completely for free.
Michelle Whitelaw, Centre Director at Livingston Designer Outlet, said “We are very much looking forward to welcoming the BGCP Comic Con group to the scheme to celebrate some of the biggest film franchises and offer visitors the opportunity to meet beloved franchise characters. It is a great way to offer our customers an immersive and free event, and we look forward to welcoming guests over the weekend to join us.”
Beyond the event, Livingston Designer Outlet also hosts a wide variety of food and beverage vendors, including Hamilton & Brown and Tikka Nation, plus many more, perfect for visiting while taking part in the Comic Con festivities.
