Photo Ops

The TNUC Photo Ops were the talk of the convention! ​​

​

Our amazing photographer and photo assistant duo impressed our attendees and guests alike with the experience they provided in the photo studio and the quality photo ops they produced.

Pirate Pop Up Photo Booth

On Saturday afternoon we were delighted to welcome the Ambro Brothers and their Pirate Pop Up Photo Booth. 

​

With their thematic set, and delightfully eccentric collection of props, they took - and printed on site - vintage style 6x4" photos of attendees solo, in cosplay, and with four of our guests! 

Meet & Greets

We kicked off The New Uni-Con weekend with our Meet & Greet sessions. These were a perfect way to meet all the guests before the main activities kicked off. 

​

With two sessions on Friday night, there was no awkward waiting between guests. Our Saturday morning session was the most exclusive, with a maximum of 5 people per table it gave our attendees the most personal time with the guests.

Coffee Breaks

Our Coffee Breaks gave up to 20 attendees per session a chance to sit and chat in a more casual setting with each of our guests over a cup of tea or coffee (and sometimes a little treat too). With each session lasting 30 minutes, this was a favourite activity for attendees and guests alike. 

Autographs

With two autograph sessions across the weekend, all our attendees had the chance to meet the guests and have them sign their photo ops, artwork and more. 

Cosplay Contest

Our Saturday Cosplay Contest was judged by our five in person guests, and Gypsy in during her panel! Take a look at our entrants, and congratulate our winners!

Two Acts of Drag, Please x Siren Events Presents We're Having a Talent Show!

We were delighted to collaborate with Two Acts of Drag, Please! to bring our first drag / talent / variety show, inspired by the talent show that never was in Season 1. 

​

Featuring 8 acts, from lipsynch, to Victoria Wood with a twist, to dance, to a heartbreaking muppet performance, it was a night of glorious and queer talent.

“I've said it before and I'll say it again: TNUC was the BEST weekend of my life. The space you created was unlike anything I've ever felt before, and I've never felt quite so much love as I did that weekend...Hearing the things the cast talk about, the moments of their life they shared with us, that they felt comfortable sharing in a space you created was everything. It's something I'm going to carry with me for a very, very long time."
