Every year enthusiastic and talented cosplayers bring to life our favourite characters, make us laugh and even scare the pants off of us with their extraordinary talents! So, put on that face paint, brandish that magic staff and stick on those elf ears because you are one of us.
Over the years we have worked around the clock to construct an organisation that is accessible to all. Inclusion is at the very heart of what we do, and everything is exclusively not-for-profit to support those from underprivileged backgrounds.
Our educational workshops, attractions, and other endeavours are available to everyone, and exist to provide a springboard for creative minds to explore their passions. Key areas include clay modelling, paper arts & crafts, book folding, card making, and printmaking throughout the year.
Wyntercon VI is an organisation showcase and fundraiser, all proceeds from the event go to help us do more within the local community. Alongside workshops, there are attractions, local authors, comic books artists, role-playing games and the south coast’s largest cosplay competition.
