'Nice to meet all you lovely costumers and cosplayers alike! If you want to know a little bit about me, I have been an avid cosplayer for 10 years now and still loving every minute of it.
I wear a combination of homemade and bought Costumes, although as time went by I found simply getting into a costume my favourite part! Cosplay, to me, is bringing the characters I love to life. I enjoy bringing smiles to both kids and adults as I bring their beloved characters to life in the real world!
My favourite cosplay to date is hard to choose, one of my favourite’s will always be my Ariel from my little mermaid, used for children's parties and Charities to help raise money.'

“Hiya, I’m Mawa. I’ve been cosplaying and competing for four years now! I’ve won a mixture of craftsmanship and performance awards in both solo and duo entries. I love to research new skills that I can bring to my costumes to help elevate my next build to be bigger and better than the last! I’ve cosplayed from a variety of different media, such as Dragon Quest, One piece, The Muppets and even the infamous Worm on a String. I looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing our love for cosplay!”

My name is Charlotte and I have been cosplaying for over 15 years. I love to make props, fantasy creatures and armoured costumes!
I really enjoy working with different materials including fabrics, foam, 3D prints and worbla.
It brings me joy to cosplay as my favourite characters and it is so exciting to see how creative people are when making their costumes.
