The Visit Nottinghamshire event listing places Em-Con 2026 at Motorpoint Arena Nottingham across both weekend dates. The listing describes it as the biggest Comic Con event in the East Midlands, giving it a clear regional pull beyond Nottingham itself.

The source does not list opening times, a full guest schedule, an organiser name, transport notes or accessibility details. Readers planning a day around the event should treat the confirmed public information as the dates, venue and starting ticket price.

Celebrity guests, cosplay and Film & TV props

Em-Con’s 2026 edition is billed around the event’s usual blend of celebrity guests, cos-players, attractions, traders and Film & TV props.

That combination makes the event relevant to several different audiences. Film and television fans will be watching for guest and prop announcements. Cosplayers have a weekend setting built around costume culture. Families have a price signal in the under-9s free admission, although the listing does not give further age guidance or family facilities.

The trader element also matters for visitors who treat Comic Con as a browsing and collecting trip rather than a fixed-stage event. The source confirms traders will be part of the show, but does not list specific stalls or products.

Who the weekend is aimed at

The event is aimed at the general public, fans of Film & TV and cosplayers. Its arena setting suggests a large event format, but the available source information does not break down capacity, floor layout or individual attractions.

For Nottingham, the timing gives the city a full weekend pop culture event in mid-June. For visitors travelling in from elsewhere in the East Midlands, the key planning facts are simple: it runs over two days, it is at Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, and entry is listed from £13.

What to check before setting off

The confirmed information is enough to mark the weekend, but not enough to finalise every part of a visit.

The listing does not provide start or end times, so anyone attending should check the event details before travelling. It also does not include venue address information, transport advice, accessibility arrangements, booking instructions or a named organiser in the supplied source text.

The source-backed details are: Em-Con 2026 takes place at Motorpoint Arena Nottingham on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 June 2026, with tickets from £13 and under-9s admitted free.
