Comicon returns bigger and better than ever

More than 4,000 people attended last year

Central Coast Comicon is set to return to Gosford on Saturday, May 27, for another exciting year of fandom celebrations.

The convention, to be held at The Entertainment Grounds, is expected to draw thousands of fans from across the regions.

An annual celebration since 2016, Central Coast Comicon 2023 promises to be bigger and better than ever before, featuring a wide range of activities and attractions for fans of all kinds.

More than 4,000 people flocked to the event last year, as it returned following a COVID-induced hiatus of two years, with even more expected this year.

Attendees can look forward to cosplay, panel discussions, pro wrestling, circus acts, light saber lessons, medieval battles, live performances, exclusive merchandise, gaming tournaments and much more.

Many fans choose to dress up on the day

All entertainment is included in the entry fee with funds raised through ticket sales to support Central Coast Youth Services and the event organiser, Regional Youth Support Services (RYSS).

RYSS has pledged that the funds raised from the 2023 event will be dedicated to a Homeless Youth Campaign for transitional housing.

“We’re thrilled to be back at The Entertainment Grounds for another amazing year of Central Coast Comicon,” RYSS CEO Kim McLoughry said.

“This year’s convention promises to be our biggest and most exciting yet, with something for everyone to enjoy.

“Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for a fun day out with family and friends, we’ve got you covered.”

Tickets can be found on the event website, or pay at the door on the day.

Gates will open at 11am.
