Watch: Pop culture fans flock to Telford for all-new Comic Con event

The popular show starred guests from movies, TV, gaming, sports entertainment, and more as it celebrates everything pop culture.

Fans of comics, sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, horror and cosplay from across the country were given the opportunity to meet their heroes and hear from them on stage.

Open on both Saturday and Sunday between 9am and 6pm, Doctor Who lovers had the opportunity to meet former doctor, Jodie Whitakker, and former companion Mandip Gill.

A picture or autograph from the first ever female doctor cost £75 each, and one fan decided to go down on one-knee and propose to their partner whilst with the star.

Judging by Midlands Comic Con's social media post, she said yes.

Other guests at the show included the Fallout's Ella Purnell and Steve Whitmire who plays Kermit the Frog.

New Zealand actress, Lucy Lawless, from Xena appeared at the show as well as American actor, Jeff Ward, Sophia Di Martino from Marvel's Loki, and Nick Zano.

Fans were also able to watch cosplayers live on stage and even join them, as well as test their gaming skills in the modern and retro areas.

The event appears to now be the only major comic convention scheduled in the town, after another organiser pulled out of Telford last year.

In December, Wales Comic Con bid 'hwyl fawr' (goodbye) to Telford and announced it would no longer be hosting events in the town.

The bi-annual event was held in Wrexham until 2019, before it moved over to the International Centre in Telford in what organisers called the 'Telford Takeover'.

But the organisers said they had outgrown the centre and that they would be heading to a new venue that would increase their floor space.
