Don your costume for a "super" day out


The World of Superheroes Convention takes place across five floors of the University’s Students Union buildings, with a whole zone dedicated to children.
Youngsters are encouraged to turn up in their favourite superhero costumes and head for the Kids’ Zone to strut their stuff on a mini cosplay catwalk.

Youngsters are encouraged to grab a WOSCon Passport and collect as many superhero stamps as they can from stallholders at the event to be in with a chance to scoop some free goodies.
Face-painters will be transforming pint-sized wannabes into sci fi, horror and superhero characters, while at the arts and crafts table laden with paints, felt, card, glitter and glue, children can create their own superhero masks and capes, plus pictures for display on the WOSCON Wall of Fame.
On the Crafty Princesses stand, kids can snap up hand-painted jute bags, bespoke T-shirts, tutus and wands.
