About East Kilbride Comic Con
The BGCP East Kilbride Comic Con is one of Scotland’s biggest free events. We take over the huge EK Shopping Centre and bring the fun of Comic Con Scotland to the high street.
The event is just south of Glasgow. It is a top choice for kids events and sits high on the What’s On Glasgow list. Many conventions cost a fortune. Ours is completely free. This makes it the best budget-friendly day out for families, geeks, and gamers.
New Location for 2026 We have moved. You can now find all the action in The Hub, right next to the Odeon Cinema and Ice Rink.
Why it is perfect for kids & families:
- First, Meet Heroes: Meet Spider-Man, Sonic, and Star Wars characters. Selfies are free!
- Next, The Market: We fill The Hub and Plaza with over 60 stalls. Buy comic books, Pokémon cards, Funko Pops, and cool gifts.
- Also, Cosplay: Dress up! We want to see costumes from kids and adults.
- Finally, Gaming: Play retro games and see movie props near the cinema.
