Back by popular demand, the Bury Comic Con Cosplay Competition returns for 2026 — bigger, bolder and more creative than ever.

Last year saw an incredible showcase of talent, craftsmanship and imagination, and we’re excited to once again celebrate the very best in cosplay at The Met, the official home of the competition.

Whether you’re stepping out as your favourite superhero, anime icon, comic book character or unveiling your own original creation, this is your moment to take centre stage.

Come along to showcase your costume, meet fellow fans, and be part of one of the most vibrant highlights of the day.
