Registration & Merch Collection opens in the Great Hall Foyer.
Registration will be open for most of the day, so pop by at your convenience to collect your entry pass and and pre-ordered merch (and keep a look out for any additional items we may have on offer).
TFN:Mini-Con® Reading 2024 officially gets underway, as our main hall opens to attendees. Whether it's our Guests, Traders, or the Forge that you're most keen to see, you'll find it all here!
As with our other conventions, we expect the first hour to be a busy period. If you'd prefer a more laid-back start to the day, feel free to socialise in The Dairy bar and eatery until you're ready to enter the convention - there'll be plenty of TFNationals on hand to keep you company!
The first hour in our trader area can be busy - if you'd prefer a more chilled start, come and join us in the panel area for some classic Saturday morning entertainment.
It's time for the entertainment to begin! Join our hosts as we run through the day's panels.
Mark from Blokees gives us a quick update on the line which has taken the fandom by storm! Why not pop by his stall and grab some?
Marking the 20 year anniversary of its untimely end, our host (and resident Dreamwave comics obsessive) David, revisits the house that Pat built... and discusses the way it all came crumbling down.
There was much storytelling that never saw the light of day, following the fall of Dreamwave. In this panel, writer Simon Furman talks about the books you never got to read, as we take a look at some genuine lost media.
Join Toy-Fu's Matt Marshall as he takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the triumphs and tragedies of toy customising! Learn about Matt's journey of discovery and see some of his wonderful creations!
Our panels break for lunch. Why not see what The Dairy Bar & Eatery has to offer? (Trader, Forge and Guest areas remain open)
Transformers comic book creator John-Paul Bove talks us through the creative process of bringing artwork to life with colour.
Now it's Nick Roche's turn to explain how he takes a written description for a comic book page, and turns it into a piece of artwork!
See our guests for a final time, and maybe, just maybe we'll have something fun to tell you before we depart.
It's goodbye for now, as TFN:Mini-Con® Reading 2024 comes to a close. Don't worry, plenty of people are staying late if you'd like to socialise in The Dairy - we'll see you there!
