MCM Comic Con UK events cancelled

Four MCM Comic Con events scheduled to take place this year in the UK have been cancelled.

MCM Birmingham Comic Con June, MCM London Comic Con July, MCM Manchester Comic Con August, and MCM Scotland Comic Con September have been cancelled by the organisers “following the escalation of COVID-19 in the UK, Europe, and globally”.

Fans will have been looking forward to their annual pop culture fix, to buy merchandise, watch screenings and meet other fans. Given the global situation regarding coronavirus, the events have been cancelled for the rest of the year.

Instead, fans can reminisce about years gone by at MCM Comic Con:

Here is the official announcement:

Our aim since the beginning has always been to put on the best events for you as possible, a space for you to gather together, be yourselves, and make memories with those who matter to you most. Unfortunately, after extensive discussions with all the relevant public health, local and national authorities we have taken the difficult decision not to go ahead with the events at this time.

Refunds for ticket holders, pre-paid photo and autographs, exhibitors, retailers and artists will all be automatically processed, with no further action needed on your part. We aim to have all refunds processed before the end of June and we appreciate your continued patience and understanding.

Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the COVID-19 virus, and to all of you, who look forward to our events year on year as a place of acceptance and safety. Rest assured, we are working hard to make sure that when safe to do so, we will return as a physical event, but until then we have plans to bring you all your comic con needs to the safety of your own homes, so stay tuned over the next few months!

Finally, we would like to say thank you for all the messages that we have received over the past few months. Your feedback has been invaluable in helping us determine next steps, and your patience and support during this challenging and unprecedented time whilst difficult decisions were being made has helped us every step of the way.
