Early bird tickets are available now for an event mixing comics with cult media that’s previously brought several big name cult stars to the Hampshire town, a ferry ride from direct train services from London to Portsmouth.

“We’re thrilled to announce that the legendary Marina Sirtis – Counselor Deanna Troi from Star Trek: The Next Generation – is officially our first guest for Gosport Comic-Con 2026,” say the team.

“Get ready to engage with one of sci-fi’s most iconic stars! Whether you’re a lifelong Trekkie or just discovering the magic of the Final Frontier, this is your chance to meet a true legend.

“Panels, photo ops, autographs, and more await – don’t miss your chance to boldly go where no con has gone before!”
