Our sponsors, The77 Publishing, under the careful curation of Steve Bull and skills of Brendan Wright, have once again provided an absolute blinder of a cover. The 2025 cover has been bought to life by the talented Colind MacNeil.
Inside the programme, you’ll find exclusive panels created by some of the amazing artists attending the show, including Patrick Goddard, Boo Cook and Hunt Emerson. Lettering is courtesy of Filippo Roncone, with vibrant colouring by Darren Stephens.
This year, the heroic Lawless faces a brand-new enemy—so keep an eye out for groan-worthy puns and cheeky classic film quotes!
As always, the programme’s centrefold is dedicated to our full panel listings. We’re also excited to announce that our second panel room has been transformed into Isocubes—perfect for even more creator interrogations throughout the day.
There’s also a dedicated signings page, so don’t forget to stop by and say hello to everyone at their tables!
Our programme is carefully designed and printed by our generous sponsors, The 77 Publications. Every year, we are fortunate to have an incredible team of creators who kindly dedicate their time and talent to produce beautiful artwork and engaging panels for the programme. The timetable for the day’s events forms a striking centrefold, a highlight of the programme that embodies the collaborative spirit of the event.
The event begins at 9am, allowing attendees to settle in before the first panel starts at 10am. The programme offers a day packed with engaging panels and activities, wrapping up around 5pm. This schedule ensures there is plenty to enjoy while leaving time for reflection and relaxation at the end of the day.
On the second day, doors open again at 9am with the first panel starting at 10am. Though shorter, the second day is just as vibrant and concludes with the final panel at 2pm. To help everyone travel home at a reasonable hour, the event closes at 3pm, making Sunday journeys as easy as possible.
Thanks to the dedication of our creators, sponsors, and volunteers, the programme is more than just a schedule – it’s a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and community. We’re excited to welcome you and share in this unique experience together.
“I think all of the volunteers are brilliant, I have missed out some names but having them around is really great if you have mobility problems or new to the convention, and unsure where to go “
“We first went 9 years ago due to our friend recommending it. I kind of knew of a few people because of the Facebook groups but hadn’t met them. Folks were just so lovely and going back every year to see the people we adore is always a pleasure. “
“Everyone was very friendly and I met and chatted to loads of people. Got my stuff signed and planning on doing both days next year. “
“It was the friendliest, most inviting con I’ve ever been to “
“So good, I missed the last train home”
“I have attended twice so far and have already been made to feel like a member of the Lawless family, by far the best comic-con I have attended. “
At Lawless I made friends that will last me for the rest of my life.
“Lawless: artists, writers, talks, judges, cosplay, memorabilia, alcohol, and underpants. 10/10 would recommend.”
“I knew one person before I went and just chatted to people in bars and now these guys are some of my closest friends “
Lawless, a con where everybody knows your name
