ABOUT 1,100 cosplay enthusiasts showcased their creative talents over the weekend, as the popular CosXPo took over the University of Reading.
Taking place over Saturday and Sunday, cosplay enthusiasts had a wide array of activities, workshops and competitions focusing on developing crafting and photography skills.
Organiser Kenny Lam said: “It was mental. It went the best it could have gone. We’re really pleased to have expanded to two buildings this year. There was high traffic for the vendors, we had Dremel come down who had tools for people to try out before they bought things on Amazon.
“The photography workshop was really popular as well – people were queuing outside the door for it. All the content went down really well, the game show, the championship.
“We also got really lucky with the weather because we were literally scooping water out on Friday and had blocked drains. Saturday was better and Sunday was actually amazing weather.”
Despite some disruption caused by Sunday’s half marathon, the event ran without any hitches, with organisers hoping to return for a fifth time next year.
