Yorkshire Cosplay Con is a huge, family-friendly convention blossoming in the heart of Sheffield Arena. Cosplay (short for ‘Costume Play’) is for everyone; from children in fancy dress, to adults who want to embrace their alter-ego. From professional costumers to handcrafted costumes, you are likely to see a whole array of wonderful characters which wouldn’t be possible anywhere else. You don’t have to cosplay, of course. But once you’ve been, you’ll be planning who to come as next year!
