Peta Prescott, Organiser of Bolton Comic-Con part of NWCC Events, said she and her family are excited to return to the town.

She said: “We have done Bolton quite a few times now and we are really excited to be back.

“We really love the feel of Bolton and usually we get a really family orientated crowd and it is a really lovely venue.

“And previously our events in Bolton have been busy.

“It is a family run event, it did start off where both me and my brother ran the events, but we also have our aunties and cousins that will work and volunteer for the day for us so everything that we do is family.

“That’s one of the things we do really like about Bolton because it does tend to be more families and its more of a family fun day rather than only people that are in to Doctor Who for example.

“It’s fun for everybody.”
