You can go along to the event dressed as your favourite pop culture character. Lots of people do, so don’t be surprised to if you see Batman or a Stormtrooper wandering around Hull University. There is also a costume masquerade there will be some fantastic prizes to be won.
Hosting the event will be Lindsey Jordan of Unleashed Events, who said: “This will be my first time hosting an event in Hull and I can’t wait! I am a big Star Wars fan so I am super excited about chatting with the guests on stage and finding out some Star Wars gems. I am also looking forward to hosting the cosplay masquerade as I have heard that previous years attendees were phenomenal! You will find Unleashed Events to be a great all-inclusive place for families, friends, stormtroopers, princesses and furries to meet up and enjoy their fandom, as this event offers a huge variety of everything geeky. There is simply something for everyone so come along and see what it’s all about!”
