“We had a very good turn out, just under 2,000 throughout the day,” he said.

“The atmosphere was great throughout the venue with the cosplay being very popular as well as all our movie props.

“We’re having a meeting at the venue to discuss 2019 and how we can increase the size and move it to a two-day event.”
