We’re Here, Manchester!
Manchester, we’re ready for you. Sugden Sports Centre is the perfect spot to pack in all the comics, zines, graphic novels and surprises you can handle. It’s right in the city centre so there’s no excuse to miss it.
“Wait, There’s More!”
This year we’ve made it even easier to bring the whole crew. Family and child tickets mean you’ll have more spare cash for what really matters: discovering your next favourite indie comic and filling up your tote bag. Let’s make this our biggest InkBlot yet, Manchester.
This Event Was Made Possible With a Little Help From Our Friends!
QUESTIONS?
Is the venue accessible?
Absolutely! The whole event takes place on one level with step-free access, making it wheelchair-friendly. It can get busy in some spots, especially near the entrance, but if you need any extra help on the day just let us know — we’re here to help you enjoy the festival.
Are children welcome?
Of course! InkBlot is family-friendly and there’s plenty for all ages to see and do. Bring the kids along and let them discover the magic of comics.
Can I cosplay?
Yes! While InkBlot isn’t a dedicated cosplay convention, we love seeing creative outfits. Whether you’re repping your favourite character or showing off your own design, come along in costume if you like.
Will there be food and drinks?
There are plenty of local cafes, food spots and shops nearby so you can grab what you need during the day. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks too — just be mindful of litter and other guests.
How do I get there?
Sugden Sports Centre is right in Manchester city centre, close to Oxford Road and plenty of bus, tram and train connections. It’s easy to reach whether you’re coming by train, bus or on foot.
