Dundee is gearing up for a weekend of colour, creativity and fandom as Comic Con returns to the city this Saturday, 20 September 2025.

The event, hailed as Scotland’s largest free Comic Con, promises a packed day of entertainment for visitors of all ages at the Wellgate Shopping Centre.

Comic Con Dundee has grown into one of the city’s most exciting annual gatherings, bringing together fans of comics, films, TV, gaming and more under one roof.

This year’s instalment features a carefully curated line-up of traders and artists, offering everything from exclusive comic book art and collectibles to handmade crafts and memorabilia.

For fans, the convention is more than just a marketplace – it’s a celebration of creativity and community.

Attendees can expect to see their favourite characters brought to life through cosplay, with many fans donning detailed costumes to take part in competitions and photo opportunities.

The event also creates chances to meet creators, discover new artists and connect with fellow enthusiasts who share the same passions.

Cosplay has always been one of the highlights of the day, with participants showcasing costumes that range from superheroes and sci-fi icons to anime favourites and video game characters.

The atmosphere is known to be welcoming and vibrant, giving seasoned cosplayers and newcomers alike the chance to shine.

Film buffs, toy collectors and comic enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy. Rare finds, vintage toys and limited-edition pieces are often snapped up quickly, making the convention a must-visit for collectors on the hunt for something special.

The organisers describe the event as the “perfect send-off” for their Dundee line-up this year, ensuring it closes with a flourish.

As the final Comic Con outing in the city for 2025, they are pulling out all the stops to deliver an unforgettable day.

With free entry, a buzzing atmosphere and something to capture everyone’s imagination, Dundee Comic Con 2025 at the Wellgate Shopping Centre looks set to be one of the standout events of the city’s cultural calendar.
