Back by popular demand!
Last year’s Bury Comic Con was packed with jaw-dropping costumes — so we’re bringing the Cosplay Competition back, bigger and bolder than ever.
Whether you’re channelling your favourite superhero, anime legend, comic book icon or rocking your own sci-fi-inspired creation, this is your time to shine!
Strut your stuff, snap some epic photos, and connect with fellow cosplay fans at The Met — the official home of our 2025 Cosplay Competitions.

- 2:45pm – Children’s Competition (under 13)
- 3:45pm – Teen & Adult Competition (13+)
Entry is FREE, but space is limited — so you’ll need to register for a ticket to take part.
