  • Ultimate Livingston Comic Con: Livingston Designer Outlet 2026

    Ultimate Livingston Comic Con: Livingston Designer Outlet

    Livingston Designer Outlet Almondvale Avenue, Livingston, United Kingdom

    Comic Con Takeover: Livingston   The wait is finally over, and we are stepping things up for our return to Livingston! While many of you will remember our fantastic previous shows at West Lothian College, Inveralmond Community High School and The Centre, Livingston, we knew it was time to find a venue that could truly handle the scale of our 2026 tour. Specifically, we are thrilled to announce that BGCP Comic Con is making its official debut at the Livingston Designer Outlet on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June. The Details Date: Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th June Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Venue: Livingston Designer Outlet, Almondvale Ave, EH54 6QX Entry: FREE ENTRY A Massive Upgrade for West Lothian Fans   To begin with, this move marks a massive milestone for our events in Livingston. Previously, we loved the community feel of our event at Inveralmond Community High School and our time at The Centre, Livingston, but the demand has simply grown too large for those spaces. Consequently, by moving into the Outlet, we can offer an experience that is far bigger than when we previously ran the centre years ago. Furthermore, this new location allows us to bring more of what you love right into the heart of the city. This means you can expect a jam-packed weekend in a premier shopping destination. Usually, our debut events at major malls sell out of trader space fast, as everyone wants to be part of our biggest West Lothian outing yet. Make a Full Day of It   Beyond the event, the Outlet is the perfect place to refuel and relax between hunting for rare collectibles. For instance, you can grab your morning caffeine fix at Starbucks before heading in to meet our traders. If you're feeling hungry, why not grab a sit-down meal at Pizza Express or try the amazing street food over at Tikka Nation? Additionally, if you want to freshen up your look for the weekend, you can swing by Vans to check out their latest gear. Finally, you could even end your day by catching a movie at the Vue cinema. Because everything is under one roof, it is the ultimate low-cost weekend activity for families and fans alike. Meet and Greets We are so excited to welcome you all for a day of character fun this Saturday and Sunday as part of Livingston Comic Con! To make sure as many of you as possible get to say hello to your favourites, we have a few handy tips and guidelines for the day: Where to find us: All of our meet and greets will take place upstairs, right next to Vue. One time only: These are the only times these characters will be out over the weekend, so please make sure to queue early to avoid any disappointment! Group photos: If you are visiting as a family or group, we kindly ask that you take one big group picture together rather than individual photos. This helps us keep the queue moving so nobody misses out! Cameras at the ready: Please have your phones or cameras open, unlocked, and ready to snap when you reach the front of the line. Don't forget the rest of the event happening from 10am to 4pm all weekend 80 fantastic traders from all over the UK spread throughout the centre. Giant inflatable characters and incredible movie props for the ultimate photo ops. Free-to-play arcade machines for some retro gaming fun! CLICK TO ENLARGE CLICK TO ENLARGE
