Multiple MCM Comic Con events cancelled

ReedPOP has announced that despite all efforts to bring fans the most epic pop culture events in the UK,  4 MCM events scheduled to take place in 2020 have been cancelled following the escalation of COVID-19 in the UK, Europe and globally:

• MCM Comic Con Birmingham, scheduled to take place at the NEC, Birmingham, from 27 to 28 June.
• MCM Comic Con London, scheduled to take place at London ExCeL, from 10 to 12 July.
• MCM Comic Con Manchester, scheduled to take place at Manchester Central, from 1 to 2 August.
• MCM Comic Con Scotland, scheduled to take place at the SEC Centre, Glasgow, from 26 to 27 September. 

Our aim since the beginning has always been to put on the best events for you as possible, a space for you to gather together, be yourselves, and make memories with those who matter to you most. The effects, actual and projected, of Coronavirus are evident across all aspects of our lives here in the UK and across the world and after extensive discussions with all the relevant public health, local and national authorities, with our partners, and after listening to our fans, we have taken the decision not to go ahead with these events.

Refunds for ticket holders, pre-paid photo and autographs, exhibitors, retailers and artists will all be automatically processed, with no further action needed on your part. We aim to have all refunds processed before the end of June and we appreciate your continued patience and understanding.

This is one of the latest in a long list of cancelled events due to the Covid-19 pandemic. More are sure to follow as event hosts come to terms with the harsh reality we’re all currently living.
