About Fort William Comic Con
The Highlands are about to get a whole lot geekier! We are thrilled to announce that the BGCP Fort William Comic Con is making its historic debut at the Nevis Centre.
While many fans in Lochaber have traveled far for our shows in the past, we are finally bringing the magic right to the shadow of Ben Nevis. We turn the venue into a playground for gamers, collectors, and families, making it the top choice for things to do with kids in Fort William.
What to expect:
- Meet Your Heroes: Take selfies with iconic characters throughout the day.
- The Market: We bring in specialist traders selling comic books, Pokémon cards, and unique geeky crafts that have never been seen in the area before.
- Cosplay: We encourage everyone to dress up! The atmosphere is perfect for cosplayers of all ages.
- Gaming: Enjoy retro gaming zones and activities designed for fans of all levels.

The Nevis Centre is the heart of community fun in Fort William. Since the event is fully indoors, you don’t have to worry about the Highland weather spoiling your plans.

- Entertainment: Challenge your friends to a round of 10-pin bowling or let the kids burn off energy at Hijinks Softplay.
- Local Landmarks: Keep an eye out for the famous Jacobite Steam Train passing nearby.
- Nearby Fun: End your day at the beautiful Highland Cinema just a short walk away.
Getting Here:
- By Bus: Multiple local routes stop right near the centre in the An Aird area.
