Gosport Comic Con 2026 - The South Coast's Newest Pop Culture Attraction

Welcome to Gosport Comic Con 2026!

Welcome to the ultimate geek gathering at Bay House School Sports and Arts Centre!

Featuring our special headliner guest Marina Sirtis! Best known for her unforgettable role as Counselor Deanna Troi on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Marina Sirtis is a beloved figure in science fiction and pop culture. We also wlecom back Tony McCarthy, with credits in Lord Of the Rings, Andor, Batman, Wicked, Fantastic Four and many others and Brian Wheeler, of Return of the Jedi and Harry Potter.

We welcome Clem So whose many credits include Doctor Who, Doctor Strange, Skyfall, Star Wars and Justice League. Also joining us is Tina Simmons whose crdits include several James Bond Films, Superman 4, Only Fools and Horses, Spider-Man: Far from Home and Return of the Jedi.

This year we will also be honouring the Gosport legend Bob Anderson who worked as a stunt swordsman on The Master of Ballantrae with Errol Flynn — an experience that launched a 50‑year career in cinema. He went on to become Hollywood’s most respected sword master, shaping the on‑screen fighting style of generations.

His choreography and coaching appear in some of the most iconic films ever made, including:

• Star Wars (as Darth Vader’s stunt double in lightsaber duels)

• The Lord of the Rings trilogy

• The Princess Bride

• Highlander, The Mask of Zorro, Pirates of the Caribbean, and multiple James Bond films

He trained and choreographed for stars such as Mark Hamill, Viggo Mortensen, Johnny Depp, Antonio Banderas, and Sean Connery.

Despite his global impact, Anderson remained a Gosport-born talent whose legacy is only now being fully celebrated locally, including through exhibitions such as the one hosted by Vanguard Comics in 2026 and ties in to Gosport Comi Con.

So get ready for a day filled with cosplay, comic books, celebrity guests, and memorabilia. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just looking for a fun day out, this event has something for everyone. Don't miss out on the chance to meet fellow enthusiasts, browse unique merchandise, and immerse yourself in all things geeky. Grab your tickets now and join us for an epic day of nerdy fun!
