Always a popular part of UK Games Expo, the costumed groups attending 2016 will be portraying characters and monsters from Doctor Who and Star wars and many other popular shows and films as well as a bunch of hairy Vikings.

The groups include Galactic Knights, Cosplay 21, Time War, Thanet Cosplay and the Vikings.

The costumed groups - aka cosplayers at UK Games Expo are all part of the fun and have been gradually expanding year on year. Between them they raise money for three large charities. They are in fact one of Games Expo's main routes to charity donations.

In 2015 all the commission that UKGE took from the bring and buy and collected by these groups and taken on the maths trade (around £4500) was donated to charities chosen by these groups and that will apply again this year. (We will soon announce the chosen charities)

We want you to be part of the fun! Visitors, including families and children are all welcome to attend in costume. We want UK Games Expo to be a super massive collection of every kind of cosplay you can imagine:

Anime?
Gaming?
Re-enactment?
LARP?
Original characters?
Comics?
Disney?
Super realistic, space alien fighting, kung fu, laser wielding hamsters?

There is a dedicated area at UKGE set aside for cosplayer's to gather in, we have Cosplay 101 seminars and an area to have your photograph taken and we will choosing the best costume to win a prize,
