Consequently, Perth has always been one of our absolute favourite stops on the tour. The event brings the local community together for a massive day of heroes, villains, and everything in between. Furthermore, every time we head back, we love to level up the experience. We transform the arena into a proper playground for geeks, gamers, and families alike. Therefore, whether you’re a die-hard collector hunting down rare merchandise, a parent looking for brilliant things to do with the kids in Perthshire, or a fan wanting to grab a selfie with iconic characters, this is one weekend you won’t want to miss.

What to Expect at the Dewars Centre Comic Con
Because this is a dedicated, ticketed event, we’re able to put on a much bigger experience than a standard mall market. Specifically, we pack the arena floor with over 50 traders, incredible interactive zones, professional-grade props, and that unmistakable buzzing community energy.
- The Market: First, we fill the hall with specialist traders selling rare comic books, Pokémon cards, Funko Pops, anime collectibles, and custom crafts.
- Free-to-Play Arcades: Next, you can step back in time with our retro arcade machines or try out the latest modern consoles. Crucially, these are completely included in your ticket price.
- Character Meet & Greets: Additionally, mind and keep your eyes peeled for roaming heroes and villains all day long. It’s absolute perfection for getting a snapshot with the wee ones!
- Workshops & Panels: Meanwhile, you can learn new skills like manga drawing or prop building straight from industry pros who love talking about their craft.
- Cosplay Competition: Finally, our legendary contest remains a massive highlight of the day. Whether you’ve spent months on a masterpiece or it’s your very first time dressing up, everyone is welcome on stage.
Keeping it Affordable for Families
We firmly believe that a proper family day out shouldn’t break the bank. For this reason, we work hard to keep our ticket prices low while providing a full day of top-tier entertainment. To help you enjoy the day, we’ve sorted a brilliant 50% discount code for early birds.

Make a Proper Day of It in Perth
The Dewars Centre is a fantastic, fully indoor flagship venue, so you don’t need to worry about the unpredictable Scottish weather ruining the fun. Because it’s right near the center of town, it’s dead easy to turn your visit into a full day out.
- Refuel: For food, the venue features an on-site café for quick snacks. Alternatively, you can dander straight into the city centre to explore a brilliant range of local restaurants, pubs, and cafes.
- Explore: Afterwards, take a stroll along the River Tay or visit the local parks. These scenic backdrops are absolute perfection for a cosplay photoshoot!
- Travel: In terms of transport, leaving the car at home is an absolute doddle. The venue sits just a short walk from Perth train station, making it incredibly simple to travel in from Dundee, Stirling, or across the central belt. However, if you do prefer to drive, there is plenty of parking available on-site.
