A new comic convention is coming to the East Sussex coast.

Hastings Comic Con will take place at the White Rock on 14 and 15 June 2025.

The two-day event will have activities and attractions, including meet and greets with actors, writers and illustrators.

The Guildhall Trust, which will be running the event and operates the White Rock, said it was also responsible for the annual Portsmouth Comic Con.

Joker Squad, a charity costume group, will bring its immersive Star Wars experiences to the event and a workshop with fantasy painters Everstromn Hobbies is already confirmed.

More guests, panels and workshops are set to be announced.
