Due to the global Coronavirus Pandemic, Portsmouth Guildhall has taken the decision to move this year’s Portsmouth Comic Con event to the new dates of Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th August 2020.

The Festival has been widely promoted across the South Coast for several months and had quickly established itself as a popular annual event.

“We have been monitoring the rapidly changing situation carefully and feel this is the right decision to ensure the welfare of our guests, exhibitors, staff, volunteers, sponsors and suppliers,” a statement reads. “It also ensures that we will be able to produce the event to the high standard you have come to expect and enjoy.

Portsmouth Comic Con – International Festival of Comics is presented by the charitable Guildhall Trust with our partners Tripwire Magazine and GoGeek Events CIC. While this postponement will have a financial and logistical impact, we are determined that the event should go ahead in August and give us all something to look forward to beyond this uncertain time.

“In these difficult times, we ask that all of our fantastic comic, film, TV, cosplay, pop culture and geek fans and communities come together to spread the word and help make the new dates an even bigger success.”

Existing tickets are automatically transferred to the new dates and ticket holders do not need to do anything further. If you are not able to attend the new date, please contact your point of purchase by 17th April 2020.

“Stay safe and we look forward to welcoming you to Portsmouth in August.”
