Also this year, MCM Comic Con introduces a series of new workshops, designed to help create, learn and inspire!

Booking is essential and will be available on the website.
For parents and younger guests, The Treehouse is a place where families can relax and recharge, with free face painting, a reading corner, and toys to play with. There’s enough to entertain even the smallest superheroes.
