Youth activities
Cosplay Club
Cosplay is amazing, but it can be daunting. Would you really love to make a costume based on your favourite character, but just don’t know where to start? Do you have an in progress project but something about it has stumped you? Or are you an old hand but just really want some company while you work?
Come and attend Cosplay Club!
Bring your questions, bring your tools and bring in your progress builds. Join other cosplayers in learning new skills, exchanging advice and getting to know the cosplay community.
