The Guild of Nerds is delighted to announce a new partnership with FanX Events to manage their cosplay programming. FanX Events approached us with a clear vision: to foreground cosplay within their events and show their appreciation for cosplayers. We’re really excited to work with them on this, and are looking forward to bringing our unique and creative programming to their upcoming show FanX LIVE in Farnborough.
Where and when is FanX LIVE?
FanX LIVE will be held at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre on 5th & 6th October 2024. You can find our more information about the venue here, and more information about FanX LIVE here.
Will you be running a Cosplay Masquerade?
Yes, absolutely! While it won’t be exactly the same show that we run at MegaCon Live events, we will be hosting a Cosplay Masquerade on both Saturday and Sunday. With categories for both bought and handmade costumes, we can’t wait to see your amazing costumes. You’ll be able to sign up to take to the stage on the day.
What else will be on offer at FanX Live Farnborough?
- Don’t despair if your costume breaks in the queue, or is damaged during the day, as we’ll be on hand running our Cosplay Repair Forge.
- We’ll be running the cloakroom for the weekend, so, if you’ve brought a coat or bag with you but don’t want to carry it, come and see us. Please note, a small charge may apply.
- We’ll be hosting a Cosplay FAQ table over the weekend. Come and chat about your tricky cosplay questions, or learn how to get into the hobby!
- Are you missing some key craft essentials from your kit, or want to try your hand at a new skill or material? We’ll have our range of crafting tools and sewing patterns available to try or buy at our table in the Cosplay Zone.
Who do I contact if I’d like to be part of the event?
If you’d like to volunteer at the convention itself, please reach out to FanX LIVE themselves here. If you would like to volunteer with the Guild as part of the cosplay team, please email us at guildofnerdscosplay[@]gmail.com with your age, location, and a little about yourself.
