Stars of Time Comic Con 2027

Stars of Time Comic Con returns to STEAM on Saturday 26 June, bringing a star-studded line-up of guests from TV and the big screen to Swindon. The guest list is a Red Dwarf reunion of sorts: Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules and Robert Llewellyn will all be there, so if you've spent any time with the crew, this is your chance to see them in the flesh.

It's a full day for pop-culture fans, and you're encouraged to turn up dressed as your favourite TV, film or fictional character. There's a free cosplay competition with cash prizes, alongside gaming, competitions, photo opportunities and virtual reality experiences. If you're more into the collecting side, thousands of items are on sale from some of the UK's top traders, including replica props, clothing, original artwork and cinema posters. There's a Star Wars Zone with lightsaber training and a Superhero Training Camp to round things out, and guest photoshoots are available at Roger Hathaway's Green Screen Photography stand.

STEAM is the Museum of the Great Western Railway, and it's worth keeping the parking situation in mind before you set off. There's no parking on-site except for disabled parking, so you'll want to use the Swindon Designer Outlet, which is about a five-minute walk from the Museum. The day runs from 10am to 5pm, with tickets at £18.50 for adults (16+), £13.50 for children (3-15, who must be accompanied by an adult), and family tickets ranging from £41.00 to £70.00.
