Showmasters have taken the difficult decision to postpone this summer’s London Film and Comic Con at Olympia, scheduled to take between June 13th and 14th, to August 14th – 15th, 2027. Here is the statement in full….
Sadly, we have had to take the difficult decision to postpone London Film and Comic Con 2026 to August 2027.
After lengthy discussions with the team and exploring other possibilities, we have come to the unfortunate conclusion that it simply isn’t feasible in this climate to bring you the quality of event that you expect from us for over 30 years.
Many of our headline guests travel from the US. With airline costs rising sharply and ongoing uncertainty around flight availability, it is not currently possible to secure the range and calibre of guests you expect from us.
Unfolding global issues, increasing energy shortages and rising cost of living are going to impact all our lives this year. The massive rising costs on putting on a big comic con this year is just too much to be passed on to the fans when everyone is feeling the pinch and that’s just unfair and we pride ourselves on fair pricing for autographs and photo ops. Unfortunately, the level of uncertainty and scale of additional costs mean this year’s large-scale event is no longer viable.
However, this is just a short-term blip. We are skipping LFCC this year, but we already have our 2027 date booked, which is 14th and 15th August 2027. By this time things will have evolved and adjusted. So, we can once again bring you the massive A-list Guests you expect from us over the years like Mel Gibson, Carrie Fisher, Michael J Fox et cetera, and all the new international guests you want to meet.
This decision only effects our big London Film and Comic Con, as our regional events have UK based Guests, it will not affect the running of all our shows up and down the country. Glasgow, Cardiff and YALC will all not be affected as the guests all come from the UK. The same goes for our other events at Creed Conventions and Brick Festival Events. None of these will be affected.
We will miss you all this year. However tough it may get over the coming months we will be back in August 2027 and can’t wait to see you again at our London Film and Comic Con 2027.
