A home grown convention
Lawless Comic Con has grown and evolved since its initial show in 2014 but the one thing that has always held true is its community.
Lawless is an opportunity for fans and creators to meet and greet, to catch up and to drink up. Cosplay legends have been borne and new creative endeavors have been forged. Our sponsors The77 formed their fledgling ideas with each other at Lawless and is now a hugely successful independent anthology comic.
We support small press and indie comics, new artists and writers as well as giving some of our more legendary creators the chance to catch up with friends in the industry.
9th – 10th May 2026
Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, Bristol, BS1 6NJ

This years charity
Thanks to everyone who attended this year. We raised a staggering £1400 for our chosen Charity – The Trussell Trust!
The Trussell Trust are an anti-poverty charity and community of food banks. They work together to ensure no one in the UK needs a food bank to survive, while providing food and practical support to people left without enough money to live on.
We will announce the chosen charity for 2026 in due course – thank you again for all of your support.
Location and venue
Lawless Comic Con is held annually at the Doubletree by Hilton, Redcliffe Way in Bristol. In keeping with the close-knit event, we use a selection of their conference rooms for panels, creators, traders and exhibitions. We also have a green room to store cosplay kit or to take a quiet five minutes should you need it!
The venue is a ten minute walk from the train station and there is limited parking available on site.
Room discounts are available here but get in quick!
