Unicon is being held at the Devonshire Dome on Sunday and will give science fiction and comic fans a day out to remember.

Organiser Steven Howard said: “We are trying to take the Comic Con scene to areas that never get a chance to see one and although the snow in March didn’t allow us to fulfil that statement, this weekend will see a Comic Con take place in the stunning and prestigious Devonshire Dome.”
