Bristol Anime & Gaming Con is back and ready to take over the Grand Hotel on the 4th and 5th of February!

Bristol Anime & Gaming Con is returning to Bristol! Hosted by Anime League, BAC is the South-West's biggest convention for all things anime, manga and video games.

For gamers, there will be gaming setups and tournaments, from modern to retro and even tabletop, so you can challenge your friends or compete against other players.

 

 

True to purpose, the convention also features an Anime Theatre. This room is dedicated to anime viewing and chilling, allowing you to watch your favourite titles and relax with other fans. But it's not just anime that will be shown in the theatre - there will also be screenings from well-known internet series, making it the perfect place to enjoy old favourites with friends.

Guests at Bristol Anime & Gaming Con this year include Doctor Who actors Cheryl Rowlands and Mickey Lewis, as well as cosplayer Hisui Cosplay, Tony McCarthy (who has played characters in both Marvel & DC films) and plenty more.

 

 

Speaking of cosplay, it’s a huge part of the event, with plenty of guests turning up in a diverse variety of cosplays. There will be talent shows, masquerades, and other activities for cosplayers to get involved in, so be sure to bring your best cosplay for a chance to show it off!
