Two days of cosplay, creators, collectibles and immersive fan experiences — built with the space and spectacle Newcastle's pop culture community deserves.
Two days of cosplay, creators, collectibles and immersive fan experiences — built with the space and spectacle Newcastle's pop culture community deserves.
We are leaving the crowded, folding-table markets in the past to build a massive, fully immersive cinematic fan experience. Designed to unite every corner of pop culture. From gaming and anime to sci-fi and literature, Fandomania is a high-energy convergence of global fandoms colliding under one roof.
Fandomania is the evolution of Newy-Con - the pop culture con our team built and ran in Newcastle. Cosplay showcases, immersive photo sets, screen-accurate builds, and a community that showed up in force. Now we're scaling it up.
Cosplay masterclasses, creator panels and meet-and-greets on a dedicated 200 sqm stage — running all weekend.
The main-stage showcase returns, bigger. Bring your best build - every level welcome, from first costume to competition grade.
Step into screen-accurate worlds. Full photo sets and props built for you to shoot in, not just look at.
A curated floor of pop culture retailers, artists and makers — with real aisle space to browse it all.
Premium partner activations with exclusive event merch and hands-on experiences you won't find anywhere else.
Wide aisles, room to sit, and experiences for every age - built for fans 8 to 80, in costume or not.
88 stalls across three tiers on a floor built for browsing. Early-bird rates for a limited window — standard stalls stack, so book adjacent spots for a wider frontage.
The biggest builds on the floor - entry-row eye-line, the Creator Zone gateway, or beside the zone itself.
Open on all four sides with 3 m of clear air - four selling frontages instead of one.
The core vendor grid on 3.5 m aisles. Stack adjacent stalls - they simply add up.
Tickets go on sale October 2026. Join the list for the on-sale date, guest announcements and early-bird ticket pricing.
