If you’re visiting Liverpool this weekend, there’s a chance you might spot a celebrity. Liverpool Comic Con will return to the Exhibition Centre Liverpool this weekend, running from Saturday, November 15 to Sunday, November 16. The event is set to welcome thousands of fans eager to meet some of their favourite film and TV stars.
Comic Con Liverpool attendees can still look forward to a star-studded weekend featuring Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd, Beetlejuice Geena Davis and Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey.
